Lindbergh Schools and Sunset Hills recently celebrated the completion of a new sidewalk project to enhance walkability in the community and support safe student travel to and from school.

The new sidewalk is located near Truman Middle School, 12225 Eddie and Park Road, on Eddie and Park Road, and runs from Kitun Park to Lindbergh Boulevard.

A ribbon cutting for the new sidewalk was held April 5, with Sunset Hills Mayor Pat Fribis and Lindbergh Schools Superintendent Tony Lake in attendance, along with students, administrators and city officials.

The district partnered with Sunset Hills in 2022 to help fund the project. The district’s total contribution was $35,000.

The district encourages students to use safe routes when walking and biking to school and supports this by employing crossing guards at all schools.

“As community partners, Lindbergh Schools and the City of Sunset Hills share a commitment to supporting safe walking routes to school and healthy lifestyle choices for students, families and residents in our community,” Lake stated in a press release from the district. “We are excited to continue working together to find ways to help fund these improvements in a strategic way.”
