Road Plan ReSubmitted


The town of Fort Frances is revising a road improvement plan to government in hopes of securing connecting link funding.

It includes a planned upgrade to Scott Street, from Reid Avenue to Colonization Road.

Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says it's a project they submitted for funding last year.

"We compete against other connecting link roads that go through municipalities in Ontario," says Brown. "I think there's sixteen communities. There were $16-million dollars divided up last year. We didn't get one penny."

The town is adding three smaller paving projects on Colonization Road East, Kings Highway and Mill Road to this year's wish list.
