Public input needed on City projects Your Feedback Yes By Letter to the Editor on April 8, 2021. Editor: The City of Lethbridge undertakes hundreds of millions of dollars in expenditures within the Capital Improvement Plan. Considering the incredible size of these expeditures and the ongoing costs to maintain projects, we would expect the greatest citizen input, transparency, and scrutiny! However, the City is only now asking for citizen input, and the ask is quietly hidden away. It seems self-serving to seek this input after projects are already recommended, and when so little information is provided to make an informed assessment. Consider that infrastructure has a lifespan far beyond when it is built, and requires ongoing costs to maintain.
