Why it matters
New sidewalks on South Mason Road will make it safer for kids to walk to school and for families to reach bus stops and stores. Right now, people have to walk in the street, which is dangerous. Better sidewalks help everyone stay healthy and make neighborhoods nicer places to live.
If this passes
New sidewalks will be built along South Mason Road, making it safer to walk to schools, bus stops, and businesses. There will be some temporary construction disruptions.
If this does not pass
People will continue walking in the street because there are no safe sidewalks, which puts families and kids at risk when they need to get around.
