A group of Fort Frances residents wants the town to reconsider plans to remove a section of sidewalk on their street.
Marlene Deschamps says the north sidewalk on Third Street East between Portage and Mowat Avenues is vital to pedestrian traffic in the area.
"Foot traffic on this street is not light, it's heavy," says Deschamps. "It's convenient for exiting the underpass because you only have a sidewalk on the west side and the natural when you leave you walk on the north side of the sidewalk. You don't cross the street."
Deschamps says the sidewalk was also part of a local improvement project paid for by area residents.
