Some badly-needed street repairs in L’Anse are getting closer. Last night, the village council awarded contracts for repaving L’Anse Avenue and Baraga Avenue. The two projects will cost $510,000. Nearly half will be covered by a state grant. Greg Kingstrom from Upper Peninsula Engineers and Architects laid out the timetable.
Business owner Monique Cadeau shared a concern about downtown parking. Limited curbside spaces are available on Main Street north of Broad Street, and some are being filled by employees of downtown businesses.
Village manager Robert LaFave said that off-street parking is available next to the Village Hall, which should be used by downtown workers. The council will consider options to keep the curbside spaces available for customers.
