Road design, transportation and walkability

I believe the plan is to fill in the sidewalks in the reconstructed areas.

Also, I believe there will be bike lanes, which I feel are justified. The road isn't particularly high traffic, but the traffic speeds are not that low.

Thanks, I’m glad to hear both of those. It’s a bit hard to tell exactly how wide it will really feel from just seeing the curbs from a distance. I just wish they would build the bike lanes a bit more separated; sometimes I feel like the extra width for bike lanes adds to the perceived width of the street and therefore increases speeds. Mill definitely doesn’t need high speeds.

I tend to agree, making roads wider is almost always bad...

But our new city guideline should help with that, but I don't know if they were in force when this was planned.
