Ponoka Town Council approved a budgeted amount of $375,000 for this year’s paving repair program, with the contract awarded to Border Paving following a competitive public procurement process earlier this summer.

Town officials say Operations crews have also been conducting curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs throughout the community this summer. The Town’s Operations Department completes regular inspections of roadways, sidewalks and curbs each spring and fall to identify and prioritize repairs that are needed each year. Roadways, sidewalks and curbs that require repairs by the Town due to utility digs are also included in this list each year.

“Our goal is to keep the Town’s roadways and sidewalks in good repair and safe for motorists and pedestrians year-round while working within the limited infrastructure resources that we receive from the provincial government for these capital projects each year,” says Ponoka Mayor Rick Bonnett, in a press release.

Motorists are reminded to drive with caution and observe road signs in construction zones.
