Locations included in the project are:
•N. Rhett Street
•E. Brown Street, where a new sidewalk connection will be added to Lowe-White Park
•E. West Street, including a pedestrian path along the City Gym, around the basketball court and into the Franklin Square parking lot
•N. Caswell Avenue, where sidewalks will be installed from W. St. George Street to W. Owens Street to provide improved access to Caviness Park

Residents may experience temporary disruptions to pedestrian access in and around active construction areas while work is underway.
Public Works staff will contact property owners who may be directly affected by the project.
