DALE CITY, Va. — Neabsco District Supervisor John D. Jenkins will hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly constructed sidewalk across from Bel Air Elementary School, 14151 Ferndale Road in Dale City on Tuesday
Jenkins was joined by several key County officials to celebrate the opening of the sidewalk for students at Bel Air Elementary School.
Jenkins used money from his TRIP (Transportation & Roadway Improvement Program) funds to install a 1,130 foot sidewalk for Bel Air Elementary School. The sidewalk is along Ferndale Road and extends from Forestdale Ave to Fresno Drive.
With the excessive amount of foot traffic in this area from students and citizens and no place for them to walk, Supervisor Jenkins felt that it was essential to have a sidewalk constructed in order to provide a safe mode of pedestrian access to the school.
Construction for the sidewalk began on July 1 and was completed two weeks ahead of schedule on August 24.
Prince William County Department of Transportation, VDOT, Public Works, Prince William County Schools officials, Holy Family Catholic Church, and the Principal at Bel Air Elementary School worked together to get the job done by the beginning of this school year so that students and citizens can utilize the sidewalk.
