New Year-Round Pedestrian Walkway Open In Weston

Written on November 11, 2011 by Andrew Plath in Uncategorized

As these pictures show, the Village of Weston successfully completed construction of an asphalt paved walk-way parallel to the existing trail. This paved walk-way will be open year-round to bicyclists and pedestrians both.

It will provide safe access for children to get to both the Mountain-Bay Elementary and D.C Everest Middle Schools. It was all part of the project to widen Schofield Avenue from two to four lanes between Ryan Road and County Highway J.

Good Job ! Weston!
