Ledger: Looking Back 25 Years - 3/28/1996

MARCH 28, 1996

Sidewalks were the main topic when the Whitehall Business Assoc. held its regular monthly meeting March 21. WBA President Wally Madsen explained that the town council has obtained a $10,000 grant which it plans to use to repair sidewalks along Legion Avenue. Madsen said city officials wanted to find out whether the businesses wanted “plain Jane” sidewalks, patterned sidewalk s, brick sidewalks, or some other variation with/without planters. After a lengthy discussion on the funding for the project and the costs for engineering, the group decided to ask for a “plain Jane” sidewalk with the idea that more blocks may be able to be done.
