By Jon Willing, Ottawa Citizen, June 3, 2018 Maybe it’s because 2018 is a
municipal election year, or maybe there just happens to be a big pile of money
suddenly available for fixing potholes in Ottawa.
The city has found $1 million more to pay for repairs to roads damaged over the winter, thanks to an annual process where projects are closed and leftover money is returned to city hall coffers.
A report on the budget transfers is scheduled for consideration Tuesday by council’s finance and economic development committee.http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/city-wants-to-spend-1-million-more-on-fixing-potholes-from-other-project-savings
