Sidewalks in New Neighborhoods
Content
Walking for health is recommended and sidewalks are good method for pedestrian transportation. Yet all new neighborhood do not have side walks. Require new developer's to put sidewalks in the neighborhoods. Years ago the Federal government had WPA who would add side walks to old neighborhoods. People who are out of work instead of collecting unemployment can build side walks in our neighborhoods. I would start around elementary schools. I live down the street from an elementary school . As the parents drop off their children they use the middle of the street as a sidewalk. my concern is that the children are taught, walking in the middle of the street is acceptable and safe. When in fact it is not. With sidewalks installed parents could walk and let their children out onto sidewalks which is safer for all concerned. Plus the workers who build the side walks have a trade to fall back on.
