So our back streets that we maintain can be done and the Main Street still looks like a gravel road.&#8221; Muskoka Road 3, of which Main Street is part, is a District road. Aitchison wondered if there was another solution.<\/p>\n<p>Hernen said that he could have a discussion with the contractor to try to expedite Main Street clean up, and added that crews will be working to complete Town roads as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
