Town keeps sidewalk funding while planning commission develops 'walkable city' plans

Council members decided not to remove motor vehicle highway funding set aside for sidewalks; they said the planning commission will bring a sidewalk plan to council before funds are spent as part of a 'walkable city' initiative.
