Sidewalk Gap Improvements: Cabela’s drive
project status
To improve pedestrian mobility, new sidewalks improvement projects are underway to address the sidewalk gap along Cabela's Drive Sidewalk with a budget of $117,000. The main purpose of this project is to make it safer and more convenient for people to walk between businesses and neighborhoods by addressing the gap in the existing sidewalk.
This means building sidewalks and filling in missing sections, especially in areas where there are currently breaks in the pedestrian pathways. The plan is to install sidewalks along the designated Gateway Corridors. By investing these funds, we aim to create more accessible and connected pathways, benefiting everyone in the community.
