This transformation will add wider sidewalks, bike lanes, public art, and beautiful new gardens to our city center, making downtown even more walkable and welcoming. While construction may bring temporary detours, the end result promises a vibrant upgrade to our beloved Main Street.If you’re looking to enjoy some culture, start your day at Champlain College, where Admitted Student Day is in full swing.
