The Council voted to build the sidewalks three years ago. So far nothing. What's up with that?

Yeah I'm not walking down Gardere. There is a lot of pedestrian traffic in that area on the sides of the road for obvious reasons.

Passed by there regularly and see folks carrying groceries through the weeds, see kids almost in ditches waiting on school buses and it's really a dangerous situation.

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything.

Agreed, it’s pretty amazing the city can’t afford to pour a mile of concrete on an already predetermined path

DOTD started requiring sidewalk plans to have the same amount of detail put into them as roadway plans about a year or two ago. Ended up adding a lot more time, effort and reviews on those types of projects. Slowed the whole process down of sidewalk projects in general

We have a backlog of highway projects but our crack engineers are working on detailed drawings of sidewalks along Gardere for three years now,

If it takes years for sidewalks, will it take ten years for a Tram and twenty to widen I-10?

It’s on the list....right after they pave the entire Mississippi River levee so those hipsters have a place to ride their bikes on Sunday Funday.

Isn't Gardere a CP road?

Nevermind...I see the highway number.

It’s like a third works country in that area. I don’t see how they put up with it the smell over there.

Probably some rare banana slug lives in those ditches so we'll need to further study the effects a sidewalk would have on their well being and peace of mind.
