Correction

The story in Tuesday’s paper about the proposed La Grange crosswalk improvements incorrectly stated that the plans call for building a new sidewalk along Travis Street in La Grange. La Grange Main Street Director Stacey Norris told the Record on Wednesday that the plans call for “sprucing up” the existing sidewalk on the north side of Travis Street with greenery and landscaping. The cost estimates for the $779,000 project provided at the La Grange City Council meeting last week included $100,000 for a “Courthouse to Travis Street Pedestrian Path.” That item, Norris said, is not a new sidewalk but a pathway and barrier that would be built on the west end of the existing sidewalk on the north side of Travis Street. Norris said that pathway and barrier would encourage pedestrians to use the crosswalks instead of jaywalking.
