The Sexton Road sidewalk improvement project is located in central Columbia along the south side of Sexton Road between Garth Avenue and Mary Street. A few broken sidewalk panels and two curb ramps will be reconstructed between Garth Avenue and the driveway entrance to the Oak Tower apartments. The existing sidewalk between the Oak Tower apartment's driveway and Mary Street will be removed and a 6-foot wide sidewalk along the back of the curb will be constructed along with reconstructing the driveway approaches. A stormwater inlet will also be reconstructed to tie into the new sidewalk. At the Sexton Road and Mary Street intersection the pedestrian crossing will be relocated to the west side of the intersection and curb ramps to provide access to the pedestrian crossing will be constructed. At the Sexton Road and Woodlawn Avenue intersection a curb ramp will be constructed on the north sidewalk of Sexton Road to provide access to the existing pedestrian crossing at this location.
