Southlake Blvd. Sidewalks
Purpose
- 91% of respondents of the most recent bi-annual Citizen Survey, conducted in 2011, listed sidewalks as a topic of high importance.
- This project will improve existing sidewalks by constructing gaps and missing segments in order to increase pedestrian connectivity.
- This project will also increase safety and security by eliminating the need for pedestrians to enter unsafe areas while walking or running.
Scope
- Gaps and missing segments in sidewalks will be constructed in order to connect existing sidewalks--over 13,000 linear feet beginning in January 2013
- 1,140 linear feet of sidewalk have been installed as of March 2013
- 8-foot long sidewalks were constructed along the length of each deceleration lane between Pearson and Commerce St--completed FY 2012.
- Southlake Blvd. Priority Sidewalk Locations:
