Sedgwick takes a step toward better walkways

At last week’s City Council meeting, City Adminstrator Joe Turner presented the council with a bicycle/pedestrian master plan that a dozen residents helped put together by walking every street in town. In his analysis, Turner stated that Sedgwick must approve a master plan for bicycle/pedestrian pathways to be eligible for funding from BCBSKS to implement the improvements. The city’s grant application is for $50,000. The city is working with Walk & Roll Harvey, a leadership team within the Healthy Harvey Coalition that focuses on non-motorized transportation.
