In advance of 2023 budget deliberations, the City of Greater Sudbury issued an update on its asset management investments, which shows city infrastructure is still being underfunded
Greater Sudbury roads are on a path toward further degradation due to a funding gap, and are expected to drop from an overall “fair” to “poor” condition by approximately 2030.
Municipal roads alone face a capital funding gap of $45 million per year to maintain them in their overall current state. The city’s five-year historical investment in roads is $35 million per year, and the annual need is $80 million. “One of the challenges facing the city is the need to balance competing needs between expanding the transportation network within the city's large geographic area and meeting the needs of existing and aging assets,” according to a municipal report on the agenda for the Feb. 7 meeting of city council.
On bridges and large culverts, the city falls short of a Ministry of Transportation goal of maintaining at least 80 per cent of structures with a Bridge Condition Index of at least 70, with 78 per cent of bridges and 69 per cent of culverts hitting an index of at least 70. The city has a total of 417 assets making up their parks and recreation department, and are in an overall fair condition, of which six per cent are very poor, 28 per cent are poor, 60 per cent are fair, four per cent are good and two per cent are very good.
