Vine Grove City Council Urges Citizens To Complete Sidewalk Survey

At Monday’s Vine Grove City Council meeting, Councilwoman Mary Dunn asked citizens to help with the sidewalk survey that is currently being conducted. “Please go onto the Vine Grove City page and look for that link. We’ll push it out once a week, at least through the month of May. Please fill out the sidewalk survey. It’s very telling. We need that data for the TAPP grant. Tell your neighbors. Tell everybody. Find that link and fill it out,” said Councilwoman Mary Dunn. Putting in new sidewalks is part of the city’s plans for the future. “Right now we only have probably twenty percent of the city, maybe thirty five to forty percent, of our streets have sidewalks. The rest don’t.so Basically anything that looks like anything built from maybe the mid-1990’s on has sidewalks, everything else does not.“ The survey will identify areas that have safety and accessibility problems that need to be addressed. “We think that focusing on the sidewalks, the signage, making sure the sidewalks are in good repair, make sure the weeds and grass are not growing in the cracks of the sidewalk and all that sort of thing is very important. doing a very thorough sidewalk survey. it’s really simple as getting volunteers to go out and take pictures and getting someone to walk the routes.” City Planner Tad Long. Once completed, the survey will be used in the city’s TAPP grant application.
