A crew from Manuel R. Pavao Contracting Inc. in Rehoboth, working with L & S Industries in Acushnet, worked on sidewalk installation along Walnut Street in April, 2009. The work was funded by the City's Chapter 90 funds along with assistance from the Water Department as it completed new water main installation in the area. "This repair work helps to get more people walking throughout the City," stated Michael Ramos, Wellness Coordinator for Fall River who is currently marking each of the ten designated walking routes. The Healthy Lives project funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is encouraging people to take advantage of them in order to increase their activity levels as part of the Mass In Motion effort.
