Fort Frances council has given approval to implementing a community safety zone in the town's west end.
Despite a recommendation from OPP that it be in place year round, councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says it was felt the zone would be more effective to have the zone in place during the school year for now.
"We can always revisit this if it doesn't work for the summer months," says Wiedenhoeft. "Right now. let's start relatively small. See if it works and build it around the school year, the school days and the school kids."
The zone still needs provincial approval before it can be implemented.
