Richland County leaders and members of the community gathered Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Trenholm Acres/New Castle Sidewalk project.
The project is part of the Transportation Penny Tax Program, which uses a 1% sales tax to fund infrastructure projects throughout Richland County.
The Trenholm Acres/New Castle Sidewalk project will install seven new sidewalks totaling 5.14 miles, as well as crosswalks, new driveways and valley gutters, in the Richland County Council District Three area along:
- Claudia Drive (Humphrey Drive to Roof Street).
- Humphrey Drive (Shakespeare Road to Parkingson Drive).
- Nancy Avenue (Humphrey Drive to Roof Street).
- Shakespeare Road (Fontaine Road to Roof Street).
- Sprott Street (Humphrey Drive to Hearn Drive).
- Warner Drive (Fontaine Road to Westmore Drive).
- Westmore Drive (Frontage Road to Humphrey Drive).
The new sidewalks will connect with existing sidewalks on Two Notch Road near more commercial districts of Richland County, making shopping more accessible and safer for pedestrians, according to county leaders…
