Officials ask staff to pursue missing sidewalk link and highlight Walker Road redevelopment
Summary
Permitting staff showed photo updates on a redeveloped industrial site at 16N196 and an extension of sidewalk at Fox Haven Square; committee members asked staff to follow up on why a short final sidewalk segment in front of a former bank has not been installed and whether a willing developer contribution exists.
Permitting staff highlighted recent construction: a formerly vacant industrial site at 16N196 is being reoccupied with a new south access to reduce impacts on a nearby railroad, and Fox Haven Square on Kirk Road includes an extended sidewalk toward Route 64.
A committee member asked why the final short segment of sidewalk in front of an old bank was not paved after a state intersection redesign introduced a ramp with no sidewalk tie-in. A member said an alderman reported a developer might be willing to pay for the missing piece. Permitting staff replied they had not been informed of a developer offer and said such frontage improvements often require municipal coordination or are addressed through annexation or development agreements.
Members asked staff to look into the situation and report back; staff agreed to investigate coordination with the municipality and developer to complete the sidewalk connection.
