Officials in Dumfries cut the ribbon on a multi-modal sidewalk along Route 1.Â
Mayor Gerald Foreman and members of the Town Council, as well as town staff came the Liberty Village retail and office complex to cut the ribbon the project. The three-eights of a mile sidewalk links Route 234 and Liberty Village along busy Route 1.
“This is a great project,” stated Foreman. Â “The multi-modal has been put in the town in stages. It started quite a few years ago when we did the study, the charette, and the charette revealed that we had antiquated sidewalks, cracked sidewalks, and that we didn’t have total connectivity in the town. So Town Council of the past few years has made it a conscious effort to put money into connectivity. To making the town one.”
In addition to sidewalks, the town has added three crosswalks since 2012 at busy intersections.
Crews are still hard at work adding new sidewalks, curb, gutter drainage, and a new street surface on nearby Tripoli Boulevard. That project should be complete in December.Â
“…that’s one of our oldest parts of the town — and those citizens greatly deserve that infrastructure improvement. It will give them a quality of life that they have been waiting for for a long time,” said Foreman.
