The City needs your input! Join us to review the community response to the City's Pedestrian Safety Study and help us prioritize needs during a drop-in style open house on Wednesday, July 13, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Prisma Health Welcome Center in Unity Park.

City staff and project consultants will be onsite to share information about the study and engage with residents to answer questions and provide feedback.
