ALBION – East Bank Street reopened to traffic today around noon after the fencing was removed that was put up 15 days ago on Feb. 17.
The fencing was added after a roof collapsed at 20 East Bank Street. Those debris have been removed from the third floor of that building, and the site has been deemed structurally sound, said Chris Kinter, the Village of Albion code enforcement officer.
The owner of the building, Frank Corso, is determining whether to put a temporary roof on the building or a permanent one. Once a roof is back on that will stop water from coming into the building and the second-floor apartments should soon after be available agin to tenants, Kinter said.
The building at the end of street at 28 East Bank has reopened its apartments and the first floor storefront also can be used again, Kinter said.
The sidewalk in front of 20 East Bank St. remains off limits to pedestrians.
