Sidewalk Reconstruction

Pannaway Manor & Maple Haven Neighborhoods 

The sidewalks in the Pannaway Manor and Maple Haven neighborhoods were included among several sidewalk repair projects. The first step in the process for the neighborhood was to gather information from the residents on their use of existing sidewalks, and the need for replacement or removal. This feedback from the residents will inform future public information meetings and decisions. The next meeting is anticipated for September, with any construction in 2023.
