“When we plan these improvements, we are ensuring residents with varying mobility preferences can get where they want to go in the City safely,” Thurman said. “When it comes to sidewalks, we think about residents who want to travel on foot, pushing strollers or walkers, or who use wheelchairs and adaptive equipment for mobility. It can be extremely dangerous to walk in the roadway with cars. Creating a designated space for pedestrians is important as we work toward a more connected community.”

Since then, the City has improved roadways and welcomed public transit options, like COTA//Plus. Last fall, construction crews completed the addition of sidewalks along College Avenue, connecting pedestrian facilities to Spring Road and northeast side neighbors to the sidewalk network leading Uptown Westerville.
