Calls for safer routes: finish the path between Upper and Lower Huachuca City, sidewalks to school and traffic calming
Summary
Residents urged completion of a paved path connecting upper and lower Huachuca City for safer pedestrian access to the library and Activity Center, and requested sidewalks, speed control measures (speed tables, signage) and road repairs on Skyline hill; council asked staff to add these items to the candidate project list for eligibility review.
Multiple residents said completing the existing but unfinished pedestrian path would link neighborhoods and provide safe routes to the library and Activity Center. Julian Barclay called for finishing the paved path that "connects lower and Upper Huachuca City" to give residents safe, non‑vehicular access instead of using steep roads.
Councilmember Danielle Cardella and others recommended traffic‑calming measures—speed tables, signage and selective speed bumps—on neighborhood streets and road repairs on Skyline hill. SEAGO advised that sidewalks and street improvements are eligible CDBG activities if they meet national objectives; the council asked staff to record the proposals for subsequent scope, design and funding analysis. No formal action was taken at the hearing.
