Main Street traffic safety
Councillors agreed to retain one parking spot on Main Street-directly in front of The Observer building-in order to improve visibility for drivers, as this area has recently been identified as an area of concern regarding pedestrian safety.

Illegal Dumping
An area at the south end of 7th St. East will be fenced off, due to illegal dumping and trash disposal which has occurred there.
