In an effort to move Plan Hamilton’s mobility goals forward, the City of Hamilton applied for and received a Safe Routes to School grant for new sidewalks along Van Hook Avenue near Linden Elementary. The grant is for $367,000 for Phase 1 of the sidewalk project. It will also include crosswalks, signs, and curb ramps.
Currently, there are gaps in the sidewalks, forcing children to walk in the street. The sidewalks will increase safety and the City hopes that it will encourage more children to walk to school For more information, review the Journal-News article here.
