The completion and construction of sidewalks and trails have been a topic of discussion since the compilation of Capital Improvement Project suggestions submitted to the Capital Projects Review Committee which preceded the 2017 bond election.
While the sidewalk and trails projects were widely popular, these did not make the final recommendation for the 2017 bond election. Nevertheless, because of the savings realized from the projects that were completed as part of the bond election, the Council decided to move forward with a certain number of sidewalks and trials.
Of the estimated $5 million cost of the sidewalks and trails contemplated for completion, $2 million will come from unused funds related to the 2017 bond projects, and $3 million will come from other sources, including bond sales, and grants.
