Description
Need a sidewalk before people are hit by fast drivers on Laurel Hills Rd. I see many people walking in the road day and evening with dogs or kids or just for exercise. Drivers come around curves too fast for people to move into the grass. We need a sidewalk. Is there a plan for one and when can it be installed. This is a safety concern.

Seconded! We risk our lives every morning and night trying to walk our dogs on Laurel Hills Rd. Drivers are flying around those curves and there is no line of vision. We have gone to wearing flashing red lights in hopes they will notice before they ram into us or swerve and hit a tree. It is almost impossible to walk on the shoulder do to overgrown trees and shrubs... there is no other option but to walk on the road...
There are brief areas of side walks around the Hemsbury & Laurel Manor neighborhoods but that is it. I've notice the city installing sidewalks down lake boone and Wade for "pedestrian" improvement... we must need to lobby someone in our district to get this done.
