Battleford council opts for concrete on 22 Street sidewalks
The jackhammers will be out this summer in Battleford as the town undergoes a much needed sidewalk replacement.
Council voted unanimously to move forward with replacing the sidewalk on the north and south side of 22nd Street from Central Ave. to First Ave. W with two metres of concrete instead of a three-metre asphalt overlay. The sidewalk will likely be reduced by one metre from the side closest to the street.
While concrete does come at a higher cost, a majority of lawmakers pointed to its longevity and preferred its curb appeal.
