Calgary construction projects posted online

The city of Calgary has launched an infrastructure website to track all of the city’s construction projects.

Over the next five years, more than $6 billion in infrastructure construction will be taking place in Calgary, with $2 billion slated for 2009.

The new website provides specific project details.

“By viewing the website, you can find out where the money is coming from and, more importantly, where it is going,” said Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier.

“You can see improvements in every aspect of Calgary, from light rail transit lines and vehicles to water treatment, roads and bridges, parks, recreation facilities, and cultural projects.”

The major feature of the website is an interactive map that pinpoints 125 capital projects, currently funded by the city’s approved 2009-2013 capital budget.

Each pinpoint includes project details, construction schedule and status, sources of funding and project costs. As projects develop, photos and progress reports will be included

The site can be found at www.calgaryinfrastructure.ca.
