Summerside City council has passed the city’s budget for 2023-24. Spending will include $5.5 million for the east-west connector road project which will divert traffic from the downtown area.
It will connect Water Street East near Reads Corner with Ryan Street and MacEwen Road.
$1.4 million will go for water and sewer utility upgrades. Rates will go up. Residents will pay $127 more a year for water bills.
Property taxes and electricity rates remain the same.
Mayor Dan Kutcher says it’s a “stay the course budget.”
