New sidewalks will be constructed at two bus stops adjacent to Austin Community College's Northridge campus.

ACC's board of trustees approved construction of the new sidewalks at the Oct. 1 meeting. Construction is expected to be completed before the end of the 2013 spring semester.

The bus stops, one on Metric Boulevard and the other on Stonehollow Drive, currently do not have direct and accessible sidewalks to the campus, said Ben Ferrell, executive vice president of finance and administration.

The construction will also include lighting along the sidewalks. The project is expected to cost about $120,000 and will be funded from the facilities improvement budget.
