Grant funds sidewalk improvements near Garrison Middle School

Student safety is taking a giant step forward this summer with the improvement of sidewalks near Garrison Middle School. The City of Walla Walla is improving sidewalks on Chase Avenue between Orchard Street and Chestnut Street and Morton Street from Chase Ave. to Fourth Ave thanks to a $30,000 Community Development Block grant.

Construction will began in June and will be completed before school starts. The project will construct new sidewalks and install ADA compliant curb ramps to improve pedestrian accessibility. The project will also include storm water collection upgrades.
