The 2008 Capital Budget has been approved at City Hall.
Councillors voted 12-4 in favour of the five year plan which has a big focus on construction projects. Among those projects is the Chief Peguis Trail which will now cost 60-million dollars to build, up from an estimated 35-million and will be a public/private partnership or P3, with a target completion date of 2010.
The McGillivray widening project will no longer be a P3, but will be cash financed to provide room for the Chief Peguis Trail.
Councillors Jenny Gerbasi, Harvey Smith, Lillian Thomas and Dan Vandal voted against the budget.
