Edmonton civic unions want a focus on core services in the city’s next budget with better support for transit employees.
A think tank says listening more closely to front-line workers could save the city money over time.
ATU Local 569 president Steve Bradshaw wants more transit peace officers to handle public disorder.
The report suggests the city take advantage of its power to charge development fees for new neighbourhoods to lighten the burden of using property taxes to service new areas.
The author recommends the city borrow up to $2.5 billion more for infrastructure and adopt a “substantial completion” policy.
