Description
The sidewalk here along Park Street needs to be widened- it is only 2 feet wide. It is substandard and should be treated like a street with no sidewalk. People are walking in the street I order to walk side by side. It is a disgrace that the mall has been allowed to expand without widening this sidewalk. This is the main access between Oak Street and the beach for many people.

We were going to the shoreline path and to get past each other, the other kids on bikes had to go into the dirt.
We should be celebrating our access to the beach, not blocking it for some plants in a parking lot.

Any update on this? My understanding is that the shopping center was supposed expand the width of the sidewalk in the area during construction. Wondering why that wasn't completed then and if they could be the funding source for fixing this now. My family uses the sidewalk often and either us (a 5 and 8 yo) or the families headed are way have to step into the bushes or into the street.
Thank you, Amy

Are there any city ordinances for the width of a sidewalk? If there are, I'm sure this does not meet it.
As for the shopping center, I would think they would want as much passing foot traffic as possible to encourage people to come to the restaurants and stores, as well as the ice rink and food trucks.
