Calgary's city officials have recommended a long-term plan to address the deteriorating condition of the city's sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The report highlights a significant backlog of necessary repairs, with the city's infrastructure in need of urgent attention. The proposed budget of $37 million over the next 10 years aims to improve safety and accessibility for residents.
The city's sidewalk network is described as being in a state of disrepair, with many sections showing signs of wear and damage. Officials emphasize that the repairs are essential to maintain public safety and ensure that the city's infrastructure remains functional. The plan includes regular maintenance and upgrades to prevent further deterioration.
