Calgary Approves $37M for Sidewalk Repairs | Calgary News

Calgary’s Infrastructure Committee just approved a bold $37 million annual plan to tackle its crumbling sidewalk crisis — over 53,000 damaged spots worth $240 million in repairs. After years of underfunding, this new investment targets safety-first fixes for sidewalks and curbs, with councillors emphasizing how visible and vital these upgrades are for daily life. Rooted in decades-old concrete from the ’70s now reaching end-of-life, the city has the capacity — it’s just about funding. The unanimous vote sends it to council for final approval, marking a crucial step toward safer streets — even if the full fix will take years.
