City awaits province on $3.2 million transit garage funding
City engineers submitted preliminary designs for a new transit garage as officials await provincial decision on funding. A 75-26 split could require the city to cover about $809,000 if the project is delayed another year, with construction hoped to start in 1983. The garage would add work bays and storage for 50 buses and expand office space, letting the old building house other city departments. Approval hinges on the 1983 capital budget.
