Asheville City Council Approves Patton Ave Sidewalk Improvements

We are writing to inform you about an important development in our ongoing efforts to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility in our community.

On October 23, 2023, the Asheville City Council approved a project for the repair and enhancement of the sidewalk along the section of Patton Avenue between Asheland Avenue and Coxe Avenue. This project aligns with our commitment to ensuring that our public spaces meet the highest standards of safety and accessibility, as stipulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.

Once the project is ready for construction to begin, our staff will be reaching out to business owners along the corridor to collaborate on determining the best timeframe for construction in front of businesses. We understand the importance of minimizing disruptions and will work to ensure that the construction process is as smooth and efficient as possible.

Feedback and insights are highly valued during this planning phase, as we aim to minimize any inconveniences and support business needs. We are committed to maintaining open lines of communication throughout the project, addressing any concerns and providing timely updates on the progress.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we strive to create a safer and more accessible environment along Patton Avenue.
