Plainview Avenue & Vale Street Sidewalk Project

We are installing a new sidewalk!

We are installing a sidewalk on the west side of Plainview Avenue from Rankin Street to Dennis Avenue and on the south side of Vale Street from Brookside Drive to Plainview Avenue.

The Plainview Avenue and Vale Street Sidewalk Project is the result of a successful sidewalk petition the City received in fall 2017.

Adjustments to the sidewalk width and setback may be included in the final design to avoid significant impacts in certain areas as needed and determined by our Engineering staff.
