Also redone were the pedestrian
crosswalks, now in a brick layout, to again give a return look at

This is a view of Front St.,
before the start-up. The project will include replacing corner area
sidewalk ramps, to make it viable for wheelchair accessibility, and
easier for senior citizens to gain access to the sidewalks from
street level. Crosswalks will also be replaced. |

Part of the work will entail
building a small new park on the south side of Front St., just
beyond the end of the building on the right, the former Elks
Clubrooms. New street light posts will also be installed to give a
better effect for incoming visitors. |
