Lethbridge council to review 2027-2036 capital plan Oct. 6-8
The city wants public input on road, park, transit and utility projects before council finalizes its next decade-long capital budget in November.
Why it matters
The plan will shape a decade of spending on Lethbridge roads, parks, transit and policing, and residents have a limited window to weigh in before council finalizes the budget in November.
Lethbridge City Council's Community Issues Committee will meet starting Oct. 6 to hear presentations on proposed projects for the 2027-2036 Capital Improvement Program, which outlines construction costs for infrastructure such as roads, parks and utility work.
The draft plan reflects council's priorities of maintaining existing capital assets, identifying new project needs, and informing residents about available grant opportunities. The Oct. 6 session begins at 9 a.m. and covers transportation and transit, community services, the Lethbridge Police Service, and Excite Lethbridge, with additional meetings scheduled for Oct. 7 and 8 if needed.
No final funding decisions will be made during these presentations. Council is expected to deliberate and approve the next CIP budget during meetings set for Nov. 16-20, 2026.
Members of the public can attend the CIC meetings in person or watch via the city's YouTube channel. Residents can also share feedback in person at the city's booth at the Lethbridge Farmers' Market on Oct. 3, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
