Ottawa mayoral candidate Mark Sutcliffe has announced a 10-year, $10-billion infrastructure plan to address population growth and housing demands ahead of the upcoming municipal election. CTV's Dylan Dyson reports that the incumbent mayor intends to fund the massive project through tax revenue and development charges while asking other levels of government to contribute. The city is currently facing an estimated $11-billion infrastructure funding gap for roads, transit, and flood mitigation over the next decade. While residents attending advanced voting in Barrhaven recognize the need for better community services, many remain firmly opposed to funding the upgrades through significant property tax increases.
