Work will improve sidewalks to make them ADA-compliant as well as add protected bicycle lanes.<\/p>\n<p>At present, crews are working on the south side of the project and estimate to get the work done late this year. Officials said the north side is substantially complete, but crews plan to return to the area near Kocurek to add new ADA-compliant ramps, sidewalks and a bike barrier curb.<\/p>\n<p>Another project is taking place along the William Cannon Drive Corridor that will impact Bedicheck Middle School and Covington Middle School. The project will add protected bicycle lanes and ADA-compliant sidewalks.
