Two bumpy streets in L’Anse are a big step closer to being repaved. At last night’s council meeting, village manager Bob LaFave said state officials have signed the request for a grant to help resurface L’Anse Avenue and Baraga Avenue.
The village was about to repave L’Anse Avenue completely on its own last fall, when the prospect of the grant became available. The extra money will allow work to be done on Baraga Avenue as well.
Council members expressed their appreciation for the work that has been done to improve Meadowbrook Arena. Kerrie Sikkila said upgrades to the kitchen in the concession area have been completed.
Meadowbrook is owned by the village, but is self-supporting, and depends on user fees and fundraisers to meet expenses. Village President Ron Ervast thanked the volunteers who keep it running.
The concession stand upgrade comes on the heels of improvement to the rest rooms, which made them compliant with the American with Disabilities Act.
