Last week, staff told St. Catharines councillors that leftover money from previous years would enable the city to move forward with additional road resurfacing this year, vastly expanding St. Catharines’ 2026 road resurfacing budget.
The city’s original road resurfacing budget was just under $800,000 for 2026, but councillors voted to approve the transfer of over $1.5 million in funds that went unused from previous years so that more roads can be resurfaced this year. The funds were made available because contracts from previous years came in under budget.
