At the start of the new millennium in 2000, the Fontana City Council initiated the Robert W. Weddle Capital Improvements Program as a tribute to Fontana's late City Engineer, Robert W. Weddle. Bob passed away in June 2001,; he was a true visionary and inspiration to all who knew him. Bob was instrumental in laying the foundation for the design, funding, and construction of a number of public infrastructure project in Fontana. The capital improvements program that bears his name is an ambitious 7-10 year, $200 million program consisting of 27 major projects, several consisting of multiple phases, that will result in new streets, landscaped areas, storm drains, sewer lines, dry utilities, freeway interchanges and over crossings throughout the City. Collectively, these infrastructure projects will go a long way towards opening up the development potential of the City. The Robert W. Weddle Capital Improvement Program is being jointly implemented under the auspices of the Community Development Department and the Redevelopment and Special Projects Department.

There are 27 major projects currently identified as part of this program. The Redevelopment Agency and Special Projects Department will provide support and master scheduling on projects directed by other City departments.

Effective July 2003, support for the RWW CIP projects was moved to the Engineering Division of the Community Development Department.
