Community Safety Zone on Hold

A proposal to establish a community safety zone in the west end of Fort Frances has yet to find its way into this year's budget.

Last fall, members of Safe Communities Rainy River and the town's active transportation committee suggested the zone around J.W. Walker School, St. Francis School and Fort Frances High School as a way of improving pedestrian safety.

But town councillors say more information regarding costs and funds are needed before a decision can be made.
