Project, providing children and their families with a safer route to Pine
Meadow Elementary School by connecting to the existing sidewalk network in the
area.
The
project added approximately 4,600 feet of 5-foot sidewalks near Pine Meadow
Elementary School from Edendale Lane to Cove Avenue, expanding existing sidewalks that were installed as part of
the Safe Routes to School initiative.
Florida’s Safe Routes to
School program helps communities like Escambia County
address school transportation needs and encourage more students to walk or ride
their bicycles to school. The program is part of a nationwide movement to
increase the number of children who walk or ride their bicycles to school by
funding projects that make it easier and safer for them to do so.
“Any
opportunity to enhance safety for our children is a win for Escambia County,”
District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said. “I’m incredibly excited to have this
project completed and provide a better connected, safer route for children and
families to walk or bike to and from school.”
The goal of this project is to contribute toward creating safer walking infrastructure in Escambia County, while providing a more safe and secure walking route for Pine Meadow Elementary School students.
This project was managed by the Escambia County Engineering Department. To view a list and map of active projects throughout Escambia County, visit MyEscambia.com/projects.
