Sidewalk to be Removed


A section of sidewalk could be eliminated if the town of Fort Frances moves forward with sewer and water improvements on Third Street East this year.

Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says the north sidewalk between Portage and Mowat Avenues won't be replaced.

"This is a low volume road where you should be able to eliminate the north sidewalk," says Brown. "It's in the official plan and we've been moving towards getting that done."

Brown says the south sidewalk will remain because its newer.
