Chapleau Council's decided to clear snowbanks on Main Street on a regular basis.
Mayor Michael Levesque explains the decision stems from a request brought forward by a councillor, who wanted openings or "access points" created in snowbanks on Main Street.
Mayor Levesque says this option "made the most sense" based on the time and cost, but emphasizing that the snowbank is only "third priority", after clearing the roads and the laneways - that means it could still take "a day or two" for the snowbanks to be removed after a winter storm.
Main Street's sidewalks are cleared daily.
