It’s getting safer and easier to walk to schools, parks, and shopping in #Syracuse. As part of the City’s municipal sidewalk maintenance program, new sidewalks were constructed along multiple blocks in Park Avenue. These are scenes on Geddes Street and Richmond Avenue – extending south to Erie Boulevard, west to Wall Street, north to Wilkinson Street, and east to Van Rensselaer Street.
City crews are constructing over 5,000 feet of new sidewalks on these sections of Geddes Street and Richmond Avenue – that’s nearly 1 mile of new sidewalks! Alongside the new sidewalks, crews are also installing mossy-green flexible porous pavement, which is an attractive and unique product made from recycled rubber that is slip-resistant, supports heavy vehicles, and cleans groundwater as it infiltrates the soil below.
The new sidewalks and flexible pavement will help create a cleaner, safer, and more accessible neighborhood for residents and pedestrians. More happening and more to come around Syracuse!
