The mayor said eventually, that area will be redone, he said, but it is in the second half of a project for the park that includes new guardrails and sidewalks there between College and Brown.
"We wanted to make sure this was in good shape primarily for the students who go back and forth to Alton Middle School on the walkway," he said. "We will clean up the debris on the sidewalk area and cut the weeds back."
The goal is in the end to have new sidewalks that will really add a lot to that area, Mayor Goins said.
"We had department heads, Public Works, and our PAC Cleanup group out there this morning," he said.
