        “While we have a journey to improve our roads, this will be the first year where we focus particularly on our sealed network renewals.<\/p>\n

        “Road maintenance will be an area that we continue to improve and look to do more across the region with an increase in budget to approximately $7 million.<\/p>\n

        “We (also) have a flood damage program of about $16 million left to complete, including some $4.5 million in betterment projects, and these will make a real difference across our community.<\/p>\n

        “Council has doubled down on its commitment to improve the region’s roads that will deliver a new focus on reseals, rehabilitation and maintenance.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
