Three years ago I raised a concern about pedestrian safety in Holton, Kansas — specifically the lack of safe sidewalks and crosswalks to reach grocery stores across U.S. Highway 75.
Sadly, three years later, nothing has changed.
Many residents still cannot safely walk or bike to buy groceries. For a community our size, that should concern all of us.
Safe crossings, sidewalks, and basic pedestrian infrastructure are not unreasonable requests — they are common-sense improvements that protect our neighbors.
If you agree this is important, please contact our city commissioners and ask them to prioritize pedestrian safety in Holton.
Our town deserves safe streets for everyone.
