Partnership, ensuring parity with

Each member of this team
works diligently to address
ratepayer concerns in a
timely and appropriate
manner. Of the nearly 700
action requests submitted by
residents in 2018, 84% were
cleared. This represents
an average of three action
requests addressed each
work day. Action requests
are typically unbudgeted items
that Transportation
and Infrastructure works to
dovetail into other projects
and operations. Residents
are thanked for their patience
and cooperation as this work is
conducted, and are reminded
that limits to the annual
for Transportation and
Infrastructure, it becomes
increasingly difficult to assess
or resolve issues when they
become embellished
or exaggerated. All MD
vehicles and equipment are
GPS-equipped, enabling
crews to quickly confirm
— or rule out — any
given issue. With these
occurrences, however, the
department must work to
filter out mere wants from
urgent needs, which itself
strains already limited resources.
When residents are succinct
and factual in their requests,
crews can be more efficient in
their response.
In its many roles and
responsibilities, this vital
department strives
to preserve, enhance and
develop the MD’s extensive
municipal infrastructure.
budget and resources of this
department may factor into
completion timelines.
