A new wave of construction crews have arrived  in Flin Flon to start sidewalk and bus pad upgrades .

 

Sidewalks are going to be upgraded or installed in the  following areas including:

 

• Queen Street at Pine Avenue

• Phelan Street, from Green Street to Steventon Boulevard

• Wright Avenue at Whitney Street

• South Hudson Street at 5th Avenue

• 3rd Avenue from Boam Street to Adams Street

• Green Street from Elm Avenue to Spruce Avenue

• North Avenue from Church Street to Main Street

In addition, new bus stop pads and shelters will be installed:

• Corner of Queen Street and Pine Avenue

• Corner of Wright Avenue and Whitney Street

• Corner of South Hudson Street and 5th Avenue

• Ross Street

 

The  goal over the next two summers is to ensure that the city’s transit stops are fully connected by sidewalks. This  will help ensure the transit network is accessible and reduce the need for pedestrians to walk on the shoulders of roadways. The  bus shelters will also help people using public  transit  have a protected space to wait for busses during  inclement weather.
