Path finishing, sidewalks and speed control proposed to improve child safety in Huachuca City
Summary
Speakers urged finishing a pedestrian path linking upper and lower Huachuca City, adding sidewalks to school routes and installing signage or speed control measures; councilmembers said safety projects could be proposed for CDBG if scoped appropriately.
Residents and councilmembers at the public hearing pushed for improved pedestrian connectivity and traffic calming to protect schoolchildren and reduce neighborhood speeding. Julian Barclay and John Gonzales urged completing a paved path between upper and lower Huachuca City to give children a safer route to the Activity Center and library, and Councilmember Danielle Cardella recommended additional signage and speed bumps in problem stretches.
SEAGO and staff noted that safety‑related street and sidewalk improvements can qualify for CDBG if they meet national objectives (benefit low/moderate income areas or address urgent health/safety concerns) and recommended documenting exact locations and scope so the town can include them on the project list.
