Toronto is set to improve city maintenance with a major investment in its infrastructure amidst a looming repair backlog. The capital budget proposed for 2025 includes $6 billion aimed at addressing the backlog, projected to reach $18 billion by 2034. A city councillor previously deemed the backlog "terrifying." Contributing factors include under-investment in infrastructure and aging systems, with residents currently facing widespread issues in transportation and community facilities. City officials express optimism that these new funds represent a crucial step in reversing the trend of deferred maintenance.
Years of low taxes and under-investment in maintaining infrastructure are to blame for the city reaching this point.
The backlog has grown to the point where people are noticing it day to day.
