Summary
Four neighbors from Olde Farm Road and Country Club Drive blasted a proposed $153,000 sidewalk project no one asked for, saying homeowners would pay $4,250 each, mature maples would be removed, and no one was notified. Mayor Smith revealed it began because a visually impaired neighbor can't safely leave the neighborhood, and a work session is set for March 3.
