Deborah Jones, resident at 1606 Pecan Street, had concerns about being forced to put in sidewalks when there were no other sidewalks to connect to. They are proposing the City would step in and do something with the path to make the sidewalks connect. Due to the toad habitat, she would like an alternative surface that fits in with the landscape, maybe a pipe fence with a crushed granite sidewalk with the perimeter of the fence and coordinate with whoever on the other side so that they could make it 2  Planning and zoning( ommiNon February 24, 2022 Meeting Minutes safe to cross.
