The construction, replacement and improvement of sidewalks within West University Place city limits could begin as early as February after West U City Council members unanimously accepted a $400,000 subgrant award with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County and the Federal Transportation Administration at an Aug. 26 City Council meeting.
What they're saying
City Manager Assistant Austin Bishop said the program will target sidewalk repair and replacement for connections not only within METRO bus stops in the city, but also located in other areas of interest including the recreational center and senior center.
Formally titled the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program, an estimated total of 2,440 square yards of completed sidewalk improvements in West U will meet or exceed requirements within the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to agenda documents.
