Downtown Brick Removal and Repurposing
Summary
Thousands of decades-old bricks installed through a Main Street marketing campaign are crumbling and creating safety issues. The board wants them pulled up and repurposed — benches, art displays — but first needs council's sign-off, and staff still fields calls from families who bought bricks expecting them to stay forever.
