This consultation has concluded.

Thank you to everyone who provided input on the draft version of the Capital Plan.

In September, City Council approved the Capital Plan for 2012-2014 . A total of $702 million is proposed for investment in a wide variety of systems, structures and facilities across Vancouver's neighbourhoods. View the details of the final plan and consultation.

A portion of the capital plan is funded by borrowing money. Council approves the borrowing for basic utility assets such as water and sewer systems. Voters approve the borrowing for all other capital projects.

At the municipal election on Saturday, November 19, 2011, voters will be asked to vote on whether the City can borrow $180 million  (about 25% of the $702 million Capital Plan) for the following projects:

1. Community Facilities (such as libraries, recreation facilities, cultural
   facilities, affordable housing, social facilities and childcare centres) and
   Parks projects: $65.8 million
2. Transportation projects: $66.3 million
3. Public Safety (such as fire halls and police buildings) and Civic Facilities
   (such as information technology systems, civic offices and maintenance yards)
   projects: $47.7 million

If the voters approve, City Council can proceed with borrowing the $180 million needed to complete those projects.
