Engineering Teamwork Provides New Sidewalks on Sullivan & Palmetto Roads 

On Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, Mayor Indya Kincannon, 3rd District Councilwoman Seema Singh and Pleasant Ridge Elementary School Principal Jennifer Morrell accompanied students as they walked home after school, using the recently completed sidewalk on Sullivan and Palmetto roads.
Design, right-of-way acquisition and construction represent a $900,000 City investment.
The sidewalk connects on its eastern end with an existing sidewalk on Walnoaks Road, providing a safe walkway directly to Pleasant Ridge Elementary. On the western end, the new sidewalk links with a previously-built section on Palmetto that connects to Western Avenue and its sidewalks.
“This wide and fully accessible new walkway serves hundreds of residents,” Mayor Kincannon said. “It strategically fills a gap in the network of sidewalks in the 3rd District. But most importantly, it makes it safer for children to walk to and from school.”
