This route is heavily used by cyclists,runners and pedestrians. Developement has increased the traffic on Grand significantly over the past decade, and a path/sidewalk would be very much in the interest of public safety. I will add that the police do an excellent job of keeping the traffic to around 30mph, but giving non motorized traffic it's own space is best.

Call City Hall and speak with city planner office and ask them how you can request the city to review putting a cycle and running path.

Plan "B"; Close Grand Ave. Extension to all motor vehicles and make the entire road-way a walking/bike path, problem solved...

The developers should have been required to install sidewalks. Not the taxpayers. !!!
How about the small developer at 508 Grand Ave who was told he would need to install sidewalks in front of all three houses that were built. He built and sold the houses, then did not install sidewalks and he got away with it, over ten years ago.
Where is the enforcement? Any code enforcement people on the job these days?

Easy Solution. DPW can put in the sidewalk and bill to property owners.

Something will happen after somebody ends up as a hood ornament on some car. The snow only makes it a narrower road.

Lack of sidewalks and bike paths has been a topic on contention on many streets, the city (and nearby towns), are not looking our for the safety of their citizens. Shame on them.

spend your time at town meeting bring it before the council dont wait for some one to do it for you, or just sit on your duff and whine about it

Thats the way to do it. Be part of the solution. Petition the pols. Have them earn their office. Start a petition and I'll be the second to sign it.

Development continues - no sidewalk. Traffic increases - no sidewalk.

New homes going up with the possibility of a light at Grand and Rowland. There were traffic counters here for a while. Can the City use this info from the DOT to determine that we do indeed need sidewalks? There is also a new neighborhood right at the most dangerous part of the road and I have noticed more cyclists and walkers since that area has been developed. It is time.

This sidewalk mystery on Grand heading into town from West is a real head-scratcher. Sidewalks appear and disappear. I see goofballs walking down the center of the street where there are sidewalks both sides of the road (see Ferguson or Albany) and am envious. For those of us who would rather walk, we are left with no choice but drive and use the garages which are multiplying at an alarming rate.
