The City's road network is one of its most valuable assets and prudent management of this asset will provide a safe and functional transportation network to allow people to move throughout the community.
The City of Vernon is pleased to announce that it has received federal grant funding to the amount of $44,000 from the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) to complete a digital pavement condition assessment for the City’s entire road network. Results of the City’s road pavement condition assessment will be used to prioritize projects based on rates of deterioration and assist in application of the “right treatment for the right road at the right time”.
“Municipalities of all sizes are Canada’s builders, says Garth Frizzel, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. They own nearly 60 percent of the public infrastructure that supports Canada’s economy and quality of life. With strengthened asset management practices, they are making infrastructure investment decisions based on sound and reliable data.”
Mayor Victor Cumming expressed his thoughts to Garth Frizzel and the program administrators for the monies to support the condition assessment of City roads. “The digital pavement condition assessment aids the City in continuing our priority based road improvement program”.
