One of the aims of the 10-Year Plan is to reduce what it costs to run the city. That means some cuts are
being made to services that fall within the transportaton budget. These include maintenance of some
roadside areas and street cleaning. Together these savings add up to almost $750,000 per year. The
changes will have a minimal impact on ratepayers.
