Summary
$2.5 million project (mostly federal money) fixes sidewalks on the busiest walking corridors downtown and toward Smith Street, including brick sidewalks like Capitol Street's. Some members flagged that residential neighborhoods still have bad sidewalks — there's a separate ~$700,000 sidewalk fund members want to plan around.
