To assist Huntsville downtown visitors with practising physical distancing, directional arrows have been painted on both sidewalks along Main Street.
The arrows have been painted along Main St. from Lorne St to the bridge, and Main St. visitors are asked by the Town to use the directional arrows as guidance when walking. If headed east, use the south side of sidewalk and if headed west, use the north side.
Sidewalk direction is encouraged as a best practice but cannot be enforced by the Town. Please continue to keep a two-metre physical distance when out in public and wash hands frequently.
For up-to-date information on Town services, support and resources during COVID-19 visit online at huntsville.ca/covid19.

This reminds me of a similar action at U. of T. quite some time ago. Because of accidents and near-misses; they instituted a policy of up and down on the central stairs for pedestrians, and reserved the central stairs for texters. Apparently, it was quite successful. Build a better mousetrap……

If it was made mandatory to wear a mask, this wouldn’t be an issue…..
Wake up people…the virus is here!!!

Hi Ryan, Good catch. We’ll update the Town’s info to reflect the correct directions.
