Capital budget dollars aren't usually interchangeable with operational budget dollars. Furthermore, Provincial grant money (in this case, the Municipal Sustainable Infrastructure funding program) that was earmarked for transportation infrastructure can not have been spent on police, fire, snow clearing, weed spraying, recreational facility operations or other such items.
