When you send your child off to school, you want to make sure they get there safely. A proposal passed by the East Lansing City Council will help an organization improve areas like this one on Narcissus Drive to make sure kids have safe routs to walk to school.
The proposal sets up a cost sharing agreement for a project from East Lansing Safe Routes to School, an organization that aims to make it safe, fun, and convenient for kids to walk or bike to school.
The project will improve infrastructure near four different elementary schools in the city. The improvements include new sidewalks, improving pedestrian crossings and repairing damaged sidewalks.
The organization will now submit an application for a federal grant by February of 2024, which could take up to a year to process.
