Aug. 13th Melville City Council Update

Exciting developments are ahead for the City of Melville.

Thanks to savings from recently completed capital projects, the city will soon embark on two additional road projects, ensuring smoother commutes and better infrastructure for residents.

City Manager Jolene Tuchscherer elaborated on the city’s plan:

“With the savings we achieved on paving, pathways, and sidewalk projects, along with the denial of the signage enhancement project through the Canada Community Building Fund, we were able to reallocate just over $183,000. We’re thrilled to announce that we will be undertaking two more road projects,” Tuchscherer said.

The upcoming projects will include the mill and fill of Columbia Street, stretching from Prince William Drive to Highway 10. Additionally, improvements will be made to Mall Road.

Both projects are slated for completion in September.
