In response to the May 2015 Community Listen meeting, nearly $60,000 in sidewalk projects for the Doling neighborhood will be begin this fall, according to city traffic Engineer Eric Claussen. Preliminary work on the Talmage Dip, located between Fort Ave. and Kansas Expressway, started in September. A sidewalk will be installed on the north side of the road for pedestrian traffic traveling from the neighborhood to the commercial district on Kansas Expressway. The project will also include trees and a retaining wall.
Other improvements include new sidewalks on Talmage from Boonville to Robberson on the south side of Doling Park and on Fort Avenue from Kerr Street to Talmage Street.
