Both Conn parents and community members would like to see a sidewalk installed at the end of Frank Street leading up to the school crosswalk at Brookside. The area is highly travelled and the pedestrian traffic patterns warrant sidewalks on both sides of the street. If we can't get a sidewalk due to gas lines, gravel would be appreciated.

Absolutely agree with this issue! This is such a highly traveled area for elementary age kids. When it rains, the mud walkway is super slick.

I walk my child to and from school every day, with my other two children in tow each time. The traffic in this small section of Frank Street is remarkable! Pushing a stroller through mud to access the crosswalk is not an easy task, and sometimes not even possible! The alternative is to do my best to interrupt traffic, and safely maneuver my stroller through the street with my school aged child "under my wing." SO scary! And so, we try to gain enough momentum to wheel through the dirt each day. Please, PLEASE consider installing a sidewalk for the safety of the kids...and to keep me from having a heart attack!

Unfortunately, this will have to wait until January at the earliest. Sidewalk petitions can't be reconsidered until 12 months after the previous one was submitted. A new petition will be submitted then and the process will start over again. Hopefully the property owner will agree as nothing will happen otherwise, unfortunately.

Thanks for you interest!
