Nelson city council has voted not to re-open access to a rear lane off the 300 block of Hall Street.
Public works director Colin Innes says it’s been closed for a year as a trial following the Stores to Shores project.
Innes says the major argument for re-opening the lane is so that trucks don’t have to back out of it.
But the work required to restore access would have cost around $30,000.
One organization in that area is pleased with the decision
Stephanie Myers of Kootenay Co-op Radio says re-opening the lane would cause them problems.
Myers hopes a handicapped parking spot can be put at the end of the lane.
