Timmins council closed a downtown laneway due to loitering, planning community spaces with public input, aiming for final decisions by April 2026.
Timmins city council has approved closing a downtown laneway between Spruce and Pine streets north of Third Avenue due to six years of increasing loitering, prompting businesses to install security measures.
The move, supported by adjacent property owners and stakeholders, aims to re-purpose the space for community uses like picnic areas, expanded outdoor space for the Seniors Centre and Youth Wellness Hub, and future art projects.
The closure is temporary, with both ends blocked off, and further planning will include public consultations, design proposals, and input from emergency services.
A mural was installed in September 2024 as part of a broader revitalization effort.
Final redevelopment decisions are expected by April 2026.
