The proposed sidewalks are essential due to the district’s growing population and the development of new homes. Many students are currently forced to walk in the street along Martindale Road, which spans 3,129.32 feet (953.82 meters). We recommend that upcoming developments be required to install sidewalks along this stretch, or alternatively, that contractor fees collected in lieu of such infrastructure be allocated to fill these gaps and ensure pedestrian safety in the area.

The proposed sidewalks along Webercrest Road are essential due to the district's growing population and the development of new homes. Many students are currently forced to walk in the street, posing significant safety concerns. A total of 4,282.35 feet (1.31 km) of new sidewalks is needed along Webercrest Road, excluding the 386.32 feet (117.75 m) of sidewalk that has already been installed.

Street lane additions are urgently needed on Almeda Genoa Road, spanning the 1.89 miles (3.03 km) from 288 to Cullen Blvd. Two apartment complexes were approved and built without implementing the necessary road infrastructure to support the increased traffic, which has significantly impacted residents in the surrounding subdivisions. The current two-lane road, coupled with the absence of adequate traffic lights, has resulted in long traffic delays and unsafe conditions.

The ordinance proposes prohibiting certain actions within city limits, including:

  • Accumulation of excessive trash or debris visible from public or private property.

  • Loitering that contributes to public disorder.

  • The sale, distribution, or use of illegal drugs on the property.

Sidewalks are urgently needed along Furman Road, which spans 2.02 miles (3.25 km), to ensure the safety of pedestrians, particularly workers traveling to and from the new Amazon facility. Currently, employees are forced to walk in the street at all hours of the day and night, creating a significant safety hazard for both pedestrians and drivers. The lack of pedestrian infrastructure on this road highlights the pressing need for sidewalks to accommodate the growing number of workers and ensure their safety.
