Following consultations with affected homeowners, Orangeville Council voted 6-1 in favour of not constructing a sidewalk on Faulkner Street at their Monday (April 12) meeting.

Herald Democrat
Sherman s vision for a new police station and headquarters is starting to take shape. Representatives with the department and Hidell and Associates recently presented updated plans to the City Council for the proposed $15 million police department.
Currently, officials expect the project to take about 15 months to build. If the project moves forward on schedule later this year, officials expect the building to be in operation some time in early 2023.
These are plans are designed to show the interior layout of the city facility, to be located near West Travis and Northgate Drive, which will replace the current station in downtown Sherman.
