Residents ask Huachuca City for sidewalks, path connections and traffic calming

Multiple speakers asked the council to prioritize pedestrian connections and traffic calming to improve safety for children and seniors. Resident Julian Barclay urged finishing the paved path that connects Upper and Lower Huachuca City and creating a sidewalk from the school to the Activity Center and library so children would not walk on roads or through goat-head patches.

Councilmembers raised speed signage and speed cushions (speed tables) as low-cost traffic-calming measures for problem streets. SEAGO staff reminded the council that sidewalk and street projects are eligible CDBG activities but applications should define exact stretches, cost estimates and environmental review status to be competitive.
