A 100-metre stretch of concrete on the outskirts of town has residents of Smithers, B.C., scratching their heads. The building required substantial renovations, and a Smithers bylaw requires projects over $75,000 to include public infrastructure. "It literally goes absolutely nowhere," said Trevor Bruintjes, general manager of North Central Plumbing and Heating, who says his employees get questions about the sidewalk constantly. Trevor Bruintjes says there are no other sidewalks for about 500 metres in either direction. Despite its seemingly pointless nature, Bruintjes says Smithers town council was adamant the sidewalk be built.
