City Council is having its budget meetings next week. Among the things they have to do is approve capital projects for the new council's term from 2015 to 2018.

Among the biggies that staff are recommending be given funding:
-Widening Counter to 4 lanes from Princess to Sir John A, including grade separation of the VIA tracks
-Widening Highway 15 to 4 lanes south of Gore Road
-Continuation of Princess Street reconstruction with Bagot-Barrie (another four blocks)

Just over a million dollars has been allocated for new buses for this year. A big jump in the transit budget to pay for the new express routes.
