 A Brainerd City Council project that would reconstruct streets in northeast Brainerd to make walking and biking to school easier and safer for area families is now in the works. The project would reconstruct portions of H Street and 10th Avenue northeast and add sidewalks for pedestrians. The sidewalks would be built in conjunction with the city's Safe Routes to School initiative which is a federal program that has the goal of developing safer routes for students to walk and bike to schools. That area up there most area does not have sidewalks so kids, children, walking school parents, walking to their children back and forth to schools and to playgrounds they don't have they walk in the middle of the street. It's going to be pretty extensive as far as dollars and stuff but it's going to be at the same time very well done. The reconstruction project for H Street and 10th Avenue northeast is tentatively set to begin this summer.
