Mt. Carmel’s deteriorating sidewalks will be the focus of an extensive study on how to repair one piece of the city’s crumbling infrastructure. At Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge said the study will begin soon….

Once that study is completed, Judge said an action plan will be developed on how to tackle upgrading the sidewalks. He said one option may be not to replace entire stretches of sidewalks if only a section of it needs attention in a particular area. Depending on the weather, it’s hoped the study can be completed sometime next Spring or Summer.
