Background
The Patton Avenue sidewalk is one of several transportation projects prioritized by City residents during public outreach for the 2016 bond referendum. This project enhances the City’s sidewalk network by constructing a new sidewalk and connecting to existing sidewalk along the eastbound lanes of Patton Avenue from Druid Avenue to Louisiana Avenue, a total length of approximately 0.45 miles. The project also includes curb ramps, crosswalks, and bus stop pad upgrades to meet standards of Americans with Disibilities Act.
The purpose of this project is to improve mobility, safety, and continuity for pedestrians on City streets and provide pedestrian connections to important commercial and public amenities.
