Other plans include making Stirling a Dementia-Friendly- City; enhancing cemetery maintenance and introducing 20mph zones, as well as introducing solar canopies at two council sites.
The draft administration budget is based on a Council Tax increase of 3% to protect essential services.
Council Leader Scott Farmer said: "We continue to do everything we can to ensure Stirling receives the maximum funding to deliver its services and I think our residents realise the challenge we face in the years ahead.
"The draft budget being put forward by the administration takes account of the feedback we received during the budget consultation and seeks to ensure we can invest for our future and realise our ambitions for the city."
Councillors will decide on the budget for 18/19 at a full council meeting on Thursday, 22 February.
