2027-2030 Capital Expenditure Program

City Council is considering the proposed 2027-2030 Capital Expenditure Program.

This program will guide the City’s investments in facilities, equipment and infrastructure over the coming years. It prioritizes investment in the core infrastructure and foundational capacity needed to support long-term sustainability and growth.

The Capital Expenditure Program currently before Council includes a total of $85.76 million in proposed spending in 2027. Of this amount, approximately $57 million worth of projects remain subject to external funding, including from the territorial and federal governments.

Highlights for 2027 include:

• nearly $24 million for water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades;
• more than $14 million to improve the City’s transportation network, from sidewalk, road and asphalt repairs to traffic intersection improvements, such as Industrial Road and Two Mile Hill, as well as active transportation routes, including the Whistle Bend Active Transportation Connector and Chilkoot Way; and
• More than $18 million to build Fire Hall #3, which will be located in Whistle Bend and increase our capacity to serve residents in the north end of the city.

The 2027-2030 Capital Expenditure Program proposes a total of $385.8 million in spending over the next four years. Appendix A identifies projects recommended to proceed based on currently identified funding sources, while Appendix B identifies projects that are subject to funding availability from external sources. The 2028–2030 years are provisional and will be re-evaluated annually.

City Council wants to hear from residents about the proposed 2027-2030 Capital Expenditure Program.

A Public Input Session will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, November 23 at City Hall. Anyone is welcome to attend the public input session and have 5 minutes to speak.

Budget input can also be emailed to [email protected] until the Public Input Session closes on November 23.
