## Resource

Memorial Heights just got $850K in federal funds to fix sidewalks—making walking safer and more accessible for everyone, especially kids heading to school. Thanks to Rep. Lizzie Fletcher’s office, the MHRA will handle design while upgrading crumbling, missing, or too-narrow paths. Over 40% of current sidewalks don’t meet width standards, and construction starts Q3 2027—connecting better with transit for a more walkable future.
