Yes, please. A side walk would be an excellent idea. People always dump cars and furniture by the curb. We live on 15531 and its unsafe to walk to safeway due to not having a side walk.

The tow truck driver who lives on 15504 is responsible for ruining that side walk. It used to be grassy and nice, but he parks, dumps and works on cars there. Now there isn’t any grass, it’s all mud. A side walk would make it safe for us to walk there and would prevent the illegal dumping issue.

The City has a backlog of sidewalk service requests. The majority of City work on sidewalk repair, maintenance and new construction is supported by grant monies. These monies have been awarded mainly to renovation and construct new sidewalks under the “Safe Route to School” grant program for elementary school routes. High schools and middle schools, we find, are less likely to be awarded these grants.

To address the need for construction of new sidewalks, the City Council adopted a Transportation Master Plan on December 12, 2011 which prioritized and ranked sidewalk projects throughout the City based upon a series of criteria. However, given limited resources as a result of the current economy, the City has been focused on constructing sidewalks that meet very specific Federal and State programs.
