Speakers ask for finished path and sidewalks to keep children off steep roads
Summary
Residents and councilmembers urged finishing the path linking upper and lower Huachuca City and adding sidewalks from the school to the Activity Center to give children a safe route and reduce exposure to goat‑heads and traffic.
Julian Barclay urged the council to finish the path that connects Upper and Lower Huachuca City so residents—particularly children—can reach the library and Activity Center without walking the steep road. He said the existing route is partly paved but needs completion to serve as a safe, all‑season connection.
Other speakers pressed for a sidewalk from the school to the Activity Center parking lot and for traffic calming such as speed signage or speed tables in neighborhoods with speeding vehicles. Councilmembers said such projects should be considered for inclusion on the town’s candidate list for CDBG or other funding and that specificity (exact location, cost estimate) will strengthen any application.
