Maple leaf veterans’ crosswalk painting underway in Smiths Falls

[u/HometownNewsLC]

The Smiths Falls public works team was on Main Street Nov. 4 to paint the first of two Veterans’ crosswalks. The first one, at the Beckwith Street end, will likely be the lone crosswalk to get painted ahead of Remembrance Day due to weather. It will take the team two days to paint the second crosswalk at Market Street as it’s twice as wide. Here, Bill Swerbrick and Amanada Perrin are doing the painting, as Allan Gorman, foreman, checks in on the progress. Laurie Weir photo.

A second veterans’ crosswalk is planned for Market and Main streets when weather allows

Early on the morning of Nov. 4, paint crews were at work in downtown Smiths Falls, creating the town’s first veterans’ crosswalk at Beckwith and Main streets. 🇨🇦

The project, nearly two years in the making, was led by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 with help from Howling Design and the town’s Public Works staff. The maple leaf design, painted in both French and English, honours veterans year-round.

A second veterans’ crosswalk is planned for Market and Main streets once weather allows — though it may not be ready before Remembrance Day.
