SUMMARY: The mayor praised two men for their years of service and dedication to the community. The delay in the Matthews Branch Walkway project has been once again postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, but city leaders are now planning to start the project in 2025. Despite the delay, officials are optimistic about the project’s impact on the neighborhood, particularly in keeping kids safe. A new grant of over $1 million will help fund the project, and city leaders are being urged to seek additional funding. Mayor Ducker emphasized the importance of following guidelines and ensuring project success.

The mayor said the delay will give them time to ensure that the project meets the requirements of the initial grant given to the city by MDOT.
