Hi Jennifer,
Currently there are no plans to add sidewalks on the East side of 4th Ave. There are several issues with laying out potential sidewalks; beginning with insufficient space due to the roadway located at the edge of the Town's Right of Way. There are other concerns too, such as a variety of trees obstructing the path, steep slopes, and proximity to the wetland resource areas.
The painted crosswalk on 4th Avenue leads to a trail on the riverside which is owned and operated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
We appreciate your interest in Public Works.
