This morning there was an exciting event at the Stake Center Pavilion. The City of Bentonville, in conjunction with Arkansas Moves, broke ground on a new Sidepath (sidewalk) on McCollum Drive, from Garden Trail on the south to Grace Point Church on the north. 2100 linear feet of sidewalk will be placed, with the goal to finish the rest after the Tiger Pass overpass project is completed (which will be starting in the fall).
We heard brief remarks from Mayor Orman, some who will be working on this project, and from Kate Blair (Bentonville 1 ward) on the impact and increased mobility this will provide to the community. Many members from Bentonville 1st and 2nd wards already ride bikes or walk to church and/or the Temple and this will greatly improve safety and overall experience. Once the Tiger overpass is complete, those on the other side of Interstate 49 will also have greater access to the trails and amenities!
We heard today, “We’re connecting people. This isn’t about trails; it’s about people.”
We are grateful to Arkansas Moves and to the City of Bentonville for this incredible improvement!
