One of Quincy’s busiest roads and others are getting new sidewalks to ensure the safety of the community.
“I walk everywhere, that’s one of the best parts of living in the city limits” said Crystle May. “There are a lot of walkers. People in the morning going to work and even in the afternoon on their way back from work”
This is Crystle May. She is one of many people in the community who uses the side walks to get to and from town.
She tells me the more side walks they have, the more people will come and visit the square.
“It’s going to bring more business to the square. The more attractive we can make downtown and in our area, the more people will come and attend our functions that we have” said May
Quincy is working on building a sidewalk along South Adams Street, one of the busiest streets in town.
Right now, people who rely on sidewalks to get into town is walking on the grass or the side of the busy street.
“This particular project on South Adams Street has been a long time coming” said Robert Nixon
