City council tonight firmly rejected a proposal by Ward 3 Coun. Angela Caputo to heat downtown sidewalks after learning the idea would quadruple the hotly contested $6-million cost of this summer's Queen Street reconstruction.

And the conversation was about different places around the world and the signature pieces that make their community a world-class destination."
Her fellow council members said they appreciated her presenting new ideas, but they wanted nothing to do with a $25-million addition to this year's road construction spending.
