The Goddard city council has approved plans to build a pedestrian bridge going over highway 54 in order to give citizens a safe way to cross from the north side to the south side. Walking across highway 54 is dangerous with lots of cars driving through at all hours of the day. There are already signs telling people not to cross but people do it anyway. That’s why people who live in Goddard want a pedestrian bridge to go across the highway. “We’ve lived here for almost 11 years and it’s always a topic of conversation either within the city or on social media. Everyone wants a bridge,” said longtime resident Tracy Wolf. Wolf thinks this bridge will help open up the community. “People can walk across Kellogg to get to the walking trails. They can walk over to get some ice cream from you know Braums or Dairy Queen or Starbucks. It just gives the opportunity to connect both sides,” said Wolf. The city is one step closer to this dream becoming a reality. The city council approved plans for a bridge to be built and go across the highway between 183rd street and 199th street.
