City busy with many capital works projects this summer
The City of North Battleford has many projects on the go over the summer, including work downtown and at the Civic Centre parking lots.
“Most of the work that is being done right now is under the UPAR [Underground Pipe and Asphalt Replacement] program,” Mayor Ryan Bater said. “We are not doing more than last year. In fact, council chose to maintain the existing level of funding. There was no increase to that this year. So we’re continuing on.
“All of the projects that are in progress are going according to the plan and budget so far, so that’s good,” he added. “All these projects were approved during the budget process last fall.”
The projects moving ahead include reconstructing the Civic Centre parking lot area. The north and west parking lots will be closed while the work is being done.
