The End of the Sidewalk on Garfield Street.

Currently, Garfield Street has a sidewalk that begins at North Street and extends to the northerly intersection of Miranda Circle. There is no sidewalk that connects Bradley Street to the end of the sidewalk at Miranda Circle. A petition was presented to the City Council last year to construct this sidewalk.

To complete the sidewalk, the city would need to construct approximately 1000 feet of 5 foot wide sidewalk and address drainage issues and driveway entrances. The sidewalk would be constructed on the easterly side of Garfield from the current termination point to Bradley Street. The estimated cost of the project is $60,000.

The construction of this sidewalk is a high concern and priority of the residents in this neighborhood. Construction of this sidewalk would improve pedestrian safety and meet residents' expectations.
