Drawing a crowd

Sidewalk widths along the length of the new Second Avenue roadway drew several people to the Staples City council's June 23 meeting. Chuck Mayer, left, had presented the city audit to the council, while Roger Houselog and others came to discuss the sidewalk issue. Second Avenue is being reconstructed next year, with the state paying a portion of the cost before the road is turned back from a state highway to a city street. (Staples World photo by Tom Crawford)
