A sidewalk improvement on Reynolds Street was approved 7-0 on Jan. 13 by the Marietta City Council for those with handicaps.

The city will install a mid-block crossing on Reynolds Street as part of this American Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk improvement.

This crossing will require the installation of thermoplastic crosswalk pavement markings, crosswalk-ahead signage, Rapid Flashing Beacons and two ADA ramp improvements on the existing sidewalks.

Including materials and equipment, the estimated cost for this installation is $31,000.

Funding will come from the 2016 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) General Street & Drainage account.
