Can we let you in on a secret? A Secret Sidewalk, that is.
Between now and year’s end, the Civic Design Center hopes to install projection art funded by NDOT’s Tactical Urbanism Program to illuminate an existing, overgrown pathway connecting Delaware and Alabama Avenues.
The project was first introduced last June after community members expressed interest in increased walkability between the Nations and Sylvan Park neighborhoods. Though the project is still in its early stages, plans include regular cleanup, tree maintenance, paving for accessibility, murals, and signage to guide pedestrians beneath the I-40 underpass to and from Charlotte Avenue. Ultimately, the route would reduce walking distances between areas of interest like businesses.
