Signal Mountain officials are finding out that a sidewalk can be anything but an easy stroll.
Town Manager Honna Rogers says that someone who tries to walk along James Boulevard must pass through front yards and cross the busy thoroughfare several times.
A proposed sidewalk, spanning one mile from the Signal Mountain Library to the Old Town neighborhood, would keep pedestrians on one side of the road, she said.
“It’s really important for people in that area to walk to the library or school or just walk for exercise,” Mrs. Rogers said.
