A second phase will include the area in front of the Heritage Co-op grocery store, but the timing of this phase is not yet known. On the north side of Main Street, sidewalk repairs will occur from the intersection with Centre Avenue, west to join the existing new sidewalk at Northstar Insurance. We expect that concrete will be poured on June 2nd and 3rd, but this will be subject to weather. Sidewalks will be unusable for 24 hours after concrete is poured.
