Brick Sidewalk Work Celebrated
Many neighbors along S. Laurel Street are very excited and appreciative about the brick sidewalk work that is being done.
Neighbor Kathy Talley had this to day:
I am especially pleased at how the handicapped accessible corners were done at Laurel and Spring: as much brick as possible was preserved. It is a huge improvement over what was done at Pine and Spring a couple of years ago: just using all concrete. The new method should become the city standard.
Still to be done:
