Jarosek discusses city infrastructure plans
Body
Fred Pankratz invited Canadian’s city manager, Joe Jarosek, to give a brief update on Canadian’s infrastructure and upcoming projects. In total, Canadian has about $6.8 million of infrastructure repairs that need to be done. Of that, $5 million is attributed to asphalt needed to pave currently unpaved streets. The current priority projects to be repaired or replaced are the Red Deer lift station and the Birch Street elevated storage tank. Unfortunately, in the four years that have passed since the city first looked into these projects, the cost has risen about 40 percent and is expected to only go up. The estimated start date on the large projects is within the next two years.
