Trail was the first city in the B.C. Interior to have concrete paved streets.
Bay Avenue and Riverside Avenue were paved in 1926 at a cost of $40,000. The rest of the downtown and all of Rossland Avenue was paved in 1927.
To celebrate the completion of Trail’s downtown street paving project, a street dance was held.
The dance took place in front of the Crown Point Hotel on October 6, 1926.
