Life and death aren’t usually how we think about complicated (sometimes boring) City Hall budget debates.
But when the issue is road safety, the public’s interest doesn’t end with council decisions about how our money is spent. It extends to the outcome. When the community is short-changed on road safety dollars, the consequences can be tragic.
The Hickory City Council voted unanimously to adopt a biking and pedestrian plan calling for extensive development of bike lanes, sidewalks and multiuse paths throughout the city.
The vote occurred at a special meeting Tuesday evening. Mayor Hank Guess and council members Charlotte Williams, Tony Wood, Danny Seaver and David Zagaroli were present.
Councilman Jill Patton participated in the meeting via Zoom. Councilman David Williams was not present for the special meeting.
The plan has been in the works since last December when the council voted to award Alta Planning + Design an $85,000 contract to help develop the project. The cost was covered in part by a $25,000 grant from LiveWell Catawba.
