Description

Extend the Hackett Blvd. Multi-use Bike path through the vacant land behind and between McDonalds and Hackett Middle School to Lark St so that people (and kids) from the Upper Whitehall and New Scotland Avenue neighborhoods can ride bikes to School and Lark Street and Washington Park easily. This would improve inter-connectedness of the city and the South Park neighborhoods, encourage people from the outer neighborhoods to bike and walk down to Lark Street, support the businesses there and allow kids from the neighborhoods to bike and walk to Hackett Middle School safely. It would also improve the abandoned, blighted area behind Hackett Middle School that is currently over grown, contains abandoned houses and homeless camps.
