Cd'A benches being fixed

COEUR d'ALENE - The city of Coeur d'Alene is refurbishing around 30 benches that normally sit in the downtown area.

They're being removed, repainted and otherwise redone by city crews. Most of them belong to Lakeside Avenue, and will be replaced within weeks, well before spring, the parks department said.

The last time they were refurbished was around eight years ago.
