Safety Path Program
The
program consists of constructing concrete safety paths
throughout the Township as outlined in the 1999 Safety Path
Master Plan. The original paths were constructed to provide
pedestrians, joggers and bikers with safe passage from local
neighborhoods to schools, shopping areas and other local
points of interest. These concerns, combined with our
residents’ interest in health and exercise, continue to drive
this program.
In response to our residents’ interest, the Engineering and
Environmental Services Department, working with our consulting
engineers, update the Safety Path Master Plan annually. Future
safety path routes are considered based upon the anticipated
usage by residents, the ability to construct within the
existing public right-of-way, and to preserve the surrounding
natural features. Final detailed engineering plans are
prepared for safety path routes after they have been
determined to be feasible for construction within the cost of
the program.
Benefits of this program: Provides a safe passage for
children to school; promotes health and exercise; and promotes
awareness of Township landscapes and natural features.
