“I want to acknowledge the cooperation and patience of everyone who has supported this project since it first began in 2014,” said the Councilwoman. “Many people have expressed their concerns over public safety and the lack of sidewalks on Phillips Lane.

The neighbors identified issues impacting the pedestrian experience and set a list of priorities. While the project took several years to gain traction, in 2019 discussions resumed on how to ensure safety along Phillips Lane.
