Edmonton and St. Albert city councils are being asked to work more closely together on major projects.

Plans to build a large rec centre for a quickly growing part of west Edmonton were officially put on hold on Day 2 of budget deliberations at city hall on Thursday.

Councillors are trying to keep the property tax increase at 2.6 per cent, despite challenges stemming from provincial budget cuts. What's being considered?

When Edmonton city council meets Tuesday, they'll debate cancelling or postponing several construction projects that they now realize we can't afford after the provincial budget.

A pair of mayors have responded to Mayor Don Iveson's suggestion that regional municipalities should chip in to support Edmonton's recreational facilities.

There's growing frustration at City Hall, as council is being asked to approve multi million dollar big ticket projects. The complaint is, they are projects all of Metro Edmonton uses, but only Edmonton taxpayers pay the bill.

Even though swimming is the residents' priority for the Lewis Farms rec centre, Councillor Andrew Knack would like to find out how lucrative more ice-time rentals can be if another two NHL-size rinks are added.

Will the City of Edmonton take on more debt? And if it does, how much? That's the key question going into this fall's budget deliberations at city hall.

On Friday, Mayor Don Iveson listed the Lewis Farms rec centre and upgrades to Terwillegar Drive as being two projects that are dependent on a new funding program with the Notley government.
