Salisbury, MD…The Maryland State Highway Administration, through its Highway Safety Office, has awarded $238,000 to the Wicomico County Roads Department for the construction of sidewalks around Salisbury Middle School. The project has been included in the planned Maryland Safe Routes to School Program for Fiscal Years 2008/2009.
Wicomico County Acting Public Works Director John Redden said that he “is very pleased that the State was so responsive to our request to correct what is a dangerous pedestrian situation at Salisbury Middle School…namely the lack of sidewalks for children to use going to and coming from school.”
Mr. Redden said that design work on the project will begin immediately and construction should be completed by early 2009.

Hats off!! I have witnessed what happens at that school when school lets out. It is an accident waiting to happen. It is also good the county was able get a grant to help with the cost. This is a win-win.
