[Apologies for the late notice on the former - I just found out about it myself. The latter is a big deal esp. if you are familiar with/live downtown and/or know the long history of this. - Anders]

Millennium Library getting sidewalks

Sidewalks are coming to the downtown Millennium Library.

Public works staff said today that a sidewalk will be constructed on the Donald Street side in 2014, with a sidewalk along the Smith Street side likely in 2015.

Pedestrians going south either cross the street or risk walking along the road.There are no sidewalks on either side of the library building south to the corner at St. Mary Avenue.
