Thunder Bay – Friday

Trash in context

Trash in context.

Finally there is asphalt going down on Court Street. This is the result of the City of Thunder Bay’s heavy dependence on funding from senior levels of government to pay for infrastructure maintenance and replacement.  The funding for this work did not arrive until late summer. A large portion of the city’s already short construction season had gone by. Late start means late finish.

Depending on other levels of government to pay for infrastructure work that should be funded by local taxes allows City Council to maintain low annual property tax increases which makes them look good. In reality, property taxes should increase by at least 10% for several years to pay for the elimination of city’s  infrastructure deficit.
