Da Silva said the city’s road rehabilitation program typically covers between four and seven kilometres of paving annually. Over the past five years, the city has completed 38.6 kilometres of roadway rehabilitation. 

The 2026 budget includes $4.4 million for road rehabilitation, $1.5 million for water main replacement, $850,000 for sanitary and storm sewer replacement, and $350,000 for sanitary and storm relining. Another $120,000 is budgeted for pathway reconstruction in parks and at Cooke Municipal Golf Course, for a total roads, utilities and parks construction budget of $7.22 million. 

Da Silva also addressed a recent line-painting error on Central Avenue after residents noticed a solid yellow line where a dashed white line should have been. 

“We did note early this morning an error on that stretch from approximately 15th Street to 10th Street on Central Avenue,” he said. “It was mistakenly painted solid yellow rather than what should have been a white dashed line.” 

He said the city is working with its contractor to correct the mistake.

Drivers who use 13th Street between 6th Avenue and 1st Ave East will need to slow down to 40 km/hr soon. Council voted in favour of the change weeks ago, and the signs are currently being prepared.  

He also said the city is preparing an update for council on the 6th Avenue viaduct rehabilitation project. Da Silva said assessment and design work has been completed, but the project is not yet under construction because more information is needed before timelines can be confirmed. 

“We do want to ask residents to plan their trips around the city, understanding that construction season is underway, and to drive with caution around all construction zones for the safety of our staff, contractors and other residents,” Da Silva said.
