    There was a proposed sidewalk between the high school and the public park at one time. What happened to this? Kids are walking and running on Bearden Road every day. The PHS track team kids run there. The parking situation at the high school requires that people have to park on Bearden during football games (such as the jamboree last night). Why can’t we put a sidewalk here?
