Canton awards design contract for 24-location sidewalk gap project totaling 17,900 feet

The Canton Township Board of Trustees voted to award the design contract for the 2024 Sidewalk Gap project, Supervisor Amry Graham Hudek said. The project covers 24 locations and will construct approximately 17,900 linear feet of new sidewalk to improve pedestrian connections across the township.

The design award advances a capital effort identified by township staff to fill gaps in the pedestrian network. Hudek said the board approved the award during its May 14 meeting; specific contractor and award amount were not specified in the supervisor summary and are listed as not specified in township minutes.

Town officials said the work is intended to enhance daily walking routes and access to parks, schools and transit stops. The board did not provide a construction schedule in the summary; follow-up materials on the township website and the full meeting video contain more detail, the supervisor said.

The board's action was reported as an approval of the design award; the meeting transcript did not include a mover, seconder or a vote tally in the supervisor summary.
