Sidewalks in Eastside, Feb. 7

With construction underway in the Eastside portion of Coos Bay for a new public school, the City of Coos Bay is working on the sidewalks leading to the Elementary School.  Thanks to a $2 million grant from the state, underground and overhead utilities will soon be moved to accommodate the construction of the sidewalks giving students safe passage to and from the school.  The funds are made available through the Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) “Safe Routes to Schools” program.  Sidewalk construction is expected to get underway this summer.
