CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) There may be more walking path options for students and others in Valley City as a group of city officials work to secure the “Safe Routes to School Grant” that will build a shared use path.

KLJ Engineer Chad Petersen says under the plan the shared use path would run from 5th avenue northeast back to Central Avenue.

City Commissioner Mary Lee Nielson and others have worked hard to build more sidewalks in the city.

Sharon Buhr with the “Young Peoples Healthy Heart Program has been a long time advocate encouraging students to walk to school.

The estimated cost of building the shared use path is $150,000.  Funding for the project would come from the federal Transportation Alternatives Program and Safe Routes to School.

The group presented their plan to the Valley City School board on February 12.
