Safe Routes to School Project Begins to Improve Pedestrian Safety

Published on September 03, 2025

The Public Works Department is pleased to announce that the 2020 Safe Routes to School Project is now underway. Construction began in August 2025 and enhancements will improve pedestrian safety and accessibility near local schools by providing new sidewalks, crosswalks, and other infrastructure upgrades to improve pedestrian pathway.

We appreciate the community’s patience during construction and look forward to providing safer routes for students and families.
