Smithville to talk sidewalks

Projects considering foot and possibly bicycle traffic will be discussed in Smithville next Tuesday.

On Jan. 10, city personnel will host “Sidewalk Talk” at 5 p.m. at the Smithville Recreation Center, 106 Royston St.

Residents are scheduled to hear updates on Loop 230 sidewalks, safe routes to school sidewalks, First Street sidewalks and Main Street ramps. People can also discuss prioritizing routes for upcoming projects and possible bicycle infrastructure.

Texas Department of Transportation representatives will be on hand to talk about how local governments and eligible project sponsors seek funding. Residents can also learn how to determine project eligibility and identify potential issues.
