Safe Routes to School
Construction of sidewalks is almost complete on FM 1100 or Avenue C from Elgin Middle School to County Line Road. This joint project with the Texas Department of Transportation is funded by a Safe Routes to School grant. Construction of sidewalks on County Line Road will be completed by Bear Creek construction before school begins in August, the same contractor who did FM 1100, and is funded by a separate Safe Routes to School grant. Please remember to slow down for school zones, put away your cell phones, and watch for children throughout our community.
