"Throughout our budget deliberations, we heard loud and clear from community members that roads are a priority," said Lakeshore Mayor Tracey Bailey.
Road work is what Lakeshore residents will get, with about four years worth set to take place in 2024.
Councillors listed more than 54 km of roads throughout the municipality for improvements, including Dupuis Street, Rochester Townline Road, Lakeshore Road 205, West Belle River Road, and Comber Sideroad.
How much gets done will depend on the tendering process. The town is looking for a contractor ready to take on the large volume of work.
"If the results of the tender, which is expected to close in mid-May, are higher than the budgeted amount, a follow-up report will be presented to council for consideration," said a release. "If the tender results are within the budgeted amounts, the work will move forward."
During budget deliberations in February, councillors agreed to add $4-million to the proposed Roads Rehabilitation Program, bringing the total investment to $6.7-million.
"The approved plan demonstrates our commitment to investing in Lakeshore's critical infrastructure in cost-effective ways," added Bailey.
Several factors determined which projects would make the list, including field assessments, pavement condition, the status of the roads in the current five-year plan, full road reconstruction funding constraints, and feedback from residents.
