The City of Winnipeg announced Thursday which residential streets in Winnipeg will see major repairs in the upcoming construction season thanks to additional federal dollars.

The city's director of public works, Jim Berezowsky, said Thursday 34 streets in Winnipeg will have both rehabilitation and reconstruction work done over the coming months, depending on the severity of the problems.

"What you'll be looking at with the upcoming tenders is the opportunity to make major improvements in the local residential neighbourhood," Berezowsky told reporters.

The cost is budgeted at $19.25 million — a significant portion of the more than $20 million Winnipeg is spending this year in extra gas tax revenue from the federal government.

The city is spending the remainder on active transportation and improvements to road safety.

A total of 53 residential roads were flagged as needing work last year. A shortfall in expected roads money from the province put the work on hold until Ottawa announced more than $40 million in extra gas tax revenue will flow to the city, which has decided to spend it over a two-year period.

"We've solved, in part, the funding issue as long as the federal dollars go forward," said Coun. Matt Allard (St. Boniface).

The city reviewed each project and selected 34 roads administration felt confident could be finished this year, and which road projects made sense to undertake at the same time, Berezowsky said.

The plan is to start work on the remaining 19 roads, along with 11 back lanes, in 2020.
