SUMMARY: The city of Ocean Springs will soon see work begin on replacing bricked crosswalks in downtown areas that have become a safety hazard to pedestrians over time. The existing bricks have shifted and become chipped, and the project manager, Sarah Harris, wants to replace them with stamped concrete to make pedestrian crossings safer. This work will help the elderly community, and improve wheelchair accessibility. The work will begin on a Monday and the areas will reopen once construction is complete. The project will start at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.
