Transportation Requests Submitted

A town committee is looking for some assistance in carrying out a transportation plan in Fort Frances.

Elaine Fisher of the Active Transportation Committee wants council to focus on five specific projects, including one to paint pedestrian walkways at intersections.

"We realize a lot of our intersections aren't clearly marked for people to cross," says Fisher. "Something as simple as paint to just clearly define the major intersection and crosswalks (should be considered)."

The committee is also seeking to identify a bike route along 4th street, upgrade of some of the so-called monkey trails within the community and ongoing town involvement with the committee as its carries out its active transportation plan.
