A petition from Prince Rupert residents aims to increase active transportation.
A stairway trail connecting 4th Avenue West and 3rd Street downtown has been out of commission since January.
Due to winter weather conditions at the time, a tree fell down on the stairwell, damaging the railing, making it unsafe for use.
Now, residents are asking the city to speed up the process of repairing the stairwell.
Receiving 79 signatures the petition was presented to council last night alongside several anecdotes characterizing the importance of the trail to residents.
Upon hearing the interest from the community, the matter was referred to staff to determine the possibility of the project.
