Property frontage sidewalk improvements will improve pedestrian safety by providing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk to the cemetery facility. The newly paved roads, upgraded curbing, and drainage/irrigation upgrades will provide a stable pavement surface free of standing water nuisance for visitors to move around the grounds.
