Officials try out sidewalk

Sylva officials braved Monday's cold weather to take a stroll on the new sidewalk that connects Sylva's downtown area with Webster Road (N.C. 116).

Walking along East Main Street are, from left, Sylva board members Eldon Cabe, Eldridge Painter, Audrey Tritt and Maurice Moody and Mayor Brenda Oliver.

The 1.8-mile sidewalk, funded jointly by the town and N.C. Department of Transportation, was constructed by Buncombe Construction Co. at a cost of $213,914.
