The City of Winnipeg plans to spend $393 million dollars on roads, bridges and other infrastructure next year.

Officials at city hall unveiled the annual capital budget on Tuesday.

The budget calls for almost $150 million for major streets, a 34 per cent increase from last year.

But money for local and regional side streets is down $12 million.

The mayor said the city needs help from the province in order to fix more roads.

"We do need a long-term, permanent source of funding," said Mayor Sam Katz.

Because of that need for additional funding, the budget numbers show that the city is borrowing more.

The debt is projected to grow from $1,000 for every Winnipegger in 2012 to more than $1,600 in 2015.

"We're at a wall financially and I don't see any solutions in this budget," said Coun. Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge – East Fort Garry).

But the mayor said there is a plan to pay back the borrowed money they need now, before costs rise.

"We are borrowing a significant amount of money to enhance our infrastructure today and not wait for tomorrow," said Katz.

And then there's what's not in the budget because of funding shortfalls.

Motorists will still have to wait for trains crossing at Waverley Street and Taylor Avenue. Preliminary work to build a bypass for the intersection was put off for another year.

"Trains are getting longer - the trains are getting more frequent. The backup is astronomical, let alone the safety issues that we have going on," said John Orlikow (River Heights – Fort Garry).

The capital budget will go before city council, as a whole, for a vote in December.
