Feux clignotants souhaités
La municipalité de Russell demandera aux Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell (CUPR) de partager les couts de l’installation d’un feu clignotant à deux endroits sur la route 400. Les intersections suggérées sont le chemin Ste-Marie et le chemin Russell Sud. La municipalité demandera également aux CUPR si un arrêt à quatre sens est nécessaire pour la circulation à l’intersection de la route 400 et du chemin Grégoire. – Gregg Chamberlain
Russell village signs
Russell Township council approved a recommendation for the municipality’s contribution to the Russell Kin Club’s project for two Welcome to Russell Village signs. The township will provide $24,000 in the 2020 budget to cover survey and legal fees for the project and also provide solar lighting for the two signs. The Kin Club will fundraise the rest of the $94,650 total cost for the project. – Gregg Chamberlain
Cost-saving purchase
The United Counties of Prescott and Russell’s public works department expects to save money in the long run by purchasing a new front-end loader. The loader, from Nortrax Ltd., priced at $209,544, using money from the Machinery Reserve Fund, means the department no longer needs to budget $20,000 every winter season to rent a loader for snow removal work. The average working life span of a new loader is 10 years, but may be longer with careful maintenance .– Gregg Chamberlain
