Plymouth to move forward with new walkway

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety gave City Engineer Dan Sellers the go-ahead on a project for a walkway on the city’s east side.


Sellers came before the Board to discuss an addition to the project currently underway on Lincolnway East at Gibson Street, adjacent to Lincoln Jr. High. Sellers had approached the contractor about closing Gibson Street’s exit onto Lincolnway to complete a walkway across the two streets.
The work would involve milling out the current asphalt and creating a grassy area, ADA-compliant curbs and ramps, along with street markings.
Sellers was given a cost of $23,738.60 for the work that would be completed as part of a Community Crossings project already underway. He asked the Board only for the approval to continue that part of the project, stating he would like to wait on a change order to see how much of the work could be completed with Community Crossings grant money.
The full project in the area is scheduled to begin on June 23.
