The Town of Carlyle was a successful recipient of a grant in the amount of $16,344 through the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund grant program. With these funds the town will be purchasing a set of pedestrian crosswalk signs that will be installed at the south end of Main Street and two more solar speed radar signs.
SafeSidewalks Canada Inc. was contracted to complete a sidewalk inspection for the town in June; the report was reviewed at the July 7 council meeting. The condition assessment report is designed to gather the information needed by the municipality to evaluate sidewalk deficiencies in the community.
Staff will review the document and prioritize repairs and replacements based on these recommendations and council will use this information for budgeting purposes.
Carlyle town council continues to work on recreation and culture delivery services in the community. From July 7-9 they had engineers in the community completing building condition assessments.
Carlyle council supports the Carlyle Fun Dayz as they move forward with their plans for the Aug. 21 event. This year will see a full road closure of both lanes in the 100-block of Main Street to accommodate the main stage and festivities.
The next Carlyle town council meeting will be July 21.
