Rosemount School Routes Receiving Upgrades

A recently approved bid for a local Safe Routes to School project will lead to several benefits for Rosemount schoolchildren.

The Rosemount City Council gave the go-ahead to the plan at its last regular meeting, according to Rosemount Town Pages.

It will allow, "The construction of a 5-foot sidewalk along the north side of 144th Street from Chili Avenue to Cameo Avenue; an 8-foot trail at Shannon Park Elementary School; and an LED crosswalk sign at Evermoor Parkway and Creggs Circle."

The low bid of $450,549.57 came in about 4 percent cheaper than the estimated construction cost and work should wrap up by the end of September.
