I live on Grand Ave and have to cross it to get my mail and paper. I feel unsafe doing this, especially in the winter when the streets are narrow due to snow. And drivers do NOT obey the 30 MPH limit. Sidewalks would inprove safety.

I have heard that the City promised to build a sidewalk on Grand Ave. when the Nottingham neighborhood was built. What happened to that?

Given that most city officials are only concerned with areas that will look good to tourists, I fear this issue may fall on deaf ears.

I think it is a valid issue though, and encourage the city to consider it. If year-round residents would be taken care of a bit better, there would likely be many more people living here - and thereby boosting the economy in the off-season.

agree

It is somewhat unbelievable that the City hasn't acted on this yet.

Older children could walk or ride their bicycles to West Avenue and the High School if there was a paved path on Grand Avenue.

Something needs to happen before someone gets hit!

STRONGLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!

When is the City going to do something about this??? Hopefully not before it's too late.....

Doesn't look like this will ever get anyones attention. I'm not sure about this whole see, click, fix approach. Seems like the only issue's that get any action are those that are politically motivated. Very unfortunate as this is truly something Saratoga should and would appreciate. Interesting that Milton is installing bike / walking paths around every corner but Saratoga isn't.

If you call the city planning department and speak with Kate Maynard she will speak with you about this subject. She has been reading this site and sees your concerns. She is very concerned about the safety of pedestrian and cyclist on Grand Ave. and would be happy to let you know how to bring this up to the city for review. Concerned citizens need to take action.

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