The City of Madera is in the midst of a nearly $2 million project to install new sidewalks, curb ramps and gutters in 13 areas across the community. Work is focused near schools and locations where sidewalk gaps have long existed.
Mayor Cece Gallegos said the goal is to provide a safer environment for all forms of transportation, with an emphasis on safe routes to school.
“Many of our youth walk to and from school every day,” Gallegos said.
