Getting from Second Avenue to Third Avenue in Rossland should become easier.
The provincial government has announced it’s kicking in $1.3 million toward a project that replaces and expands aging underground utilities and improves “above-ground pedestrian facilities” along Second Avenue.
“Enabling better connection from Second Avenue to Third Avenue is critical to this community as it provides easy and direct access to a francophone elementary school, child-care facility and a possible new arts centre,” mayor Andy More said in a news release.
“This route is in an area which has seen considerable development in recent years and this funding will ensure the community has access to services, while ensuring safe connection for an active transportation corridor.”
The precise pedestrian improvements weren’t specified.
The project also includes upgrades to watermain and storm drain systems and replacement of a deteriorating sewage main.
