Year To Fix Walks In Downtown Business Area
Property owners in the city's downtown business section will receive guidance soon with a one year deadline to repair sidewalks. Council efforts to pass a new ordinance failed initially, with a 22 vote and a missing member. After compromise, the plan omits penalties, sparking concern about city responsibility for sidewalk work. The ordinance area spans Center from Pleasant to Park, various Main street segments, Washington, Maple, Mill, Spring, and First avenues, with City Engineer David Johnson drafting required standards.
