With a grant expected to help with new sidewalk construction in 2010, Wapakoneta City Council members are expected to vote on an ordinance tonight to only replace existing sidewalks throughout the city next summer.
No new sidewalks are part of the 2011 program as proposed by the city’s Engineering Department and recommended to council by the Streets, Alleys and Sidewalks Committee. The ordinance receives its third reading during the Wapakoneta City Council meeting scheduled for 7:30 p.m. today.
“In actuality, we have a lot of sidewalk programs going on throughout the city through other programs,” Mayor Rodney Metz said. “We should receive an answer soon on the Safe Routes to School grant application, but we also have sidewalks being installed along the remaining portion of Bellefontaine Street, which is being reconstructed, and a section of Water Street.”
