Approximately 3,714 linear feet of new sidewalk were constructed in late February in the Delaware Neighborhood thanks to the City’s Neighborhood Works capital improvement grant program. Sidewalks were added along Portland Street, Fairway Avenue, Kentwood Avenue, Bennett Street and Meadowmere Street at a total cost of $110,596.
A total of $500,000 is budgeted to continue the Neighborhood Works capital improvement grant program through 2024. The NAC scoring committee for the program is expected to convene this summer to discuss any tweaks to the program format or application criteria moving forward.
