Le conseil municipal approuve le plan d'infrastructure « $50M » à l'issue d'un vote historique

The city council approved a landmark $50 million infrastructure plan during last night’s session, allocating funds for road repairs, public transit expansion, and green energy initiatives across the metropolitan area.

Council members voted 8-3 in favor of the comprehensive plan, which was developed over 18 months of community consultation and expert analysis. The investment represents the largest single infrastructure commitment in the city’s history.

Key Highlights of the Plan

The plan allocates $20 million for road and bridge repairs, $15 million for new bus rapid transit routes, $10 million for solar and wind energy projects at public facilities, and $5 million for pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.

“This is a generational investment in our community’s future,” said Mayor Elena Torres at the post-vote press conference. “These improvements will create jobs, reduce emissions, and make our city more livable for everyone.”

Construction on the first phase of projects is expected to begin in early spring, with the full plan rolling out over three years. The council will hold quarterly public updates on progress.
