City hall2A face lift to the grounds outside North Bay City Hall is scheduled to start up today (Monday).

This is phase two of the reconstruction and city officials say two areas are affected.

First, the McIntyre Street concrete steps, leading to City Hall are being removed and replaced with two sets of paving stone staircases with a central planter.

Meantime, the small staircase and retaining wall located off of the City Hall parking lot is also being removed.

That will be replaced with a gently sloping walkway with a combined raised grass/brick area close to the building.

Parking remains in place with the accessible ramp from McIntyre to City Hall remaining open along with all other pedestrian access points, excluding the staircases.
