ACROSS HIGHWAY 98
The new crosswalk/pedestrian signals are now in operation for the newly-installed Parker Road sidewalk.
From a June 2026 FT report:
EASTERN SHORE MPO PROJECT
Low-bidder Arrington Curb and Excavation Inc. has begun constructing a 2100 ft. sidewalk on the north side of Parker Road between U. S. 98 and Main Street -- with a signalized pedestrian crossing for Hwy 98.
Cost is $253K, with $200K from the MPO (federal) and $70K each from the city and county. Additional engineering cost was $40K.
Existing sidewalks on the east side of Hwy 98 will be connected to the Eastern Shore Trial, along Scenic 98/Main Street on the west end.
