Rogers Group operator Randy Wilkerson dumps gravel for a sidewalk in front of DoubleTree Hotel on South Illinois Avenue as laborer Dustin Hawkins spreads it.
Money from Oak Ridge’s four traffic camera systems is being used to build five new sections of sidewalk along South Illinois and Jefferson avenues.
The city is using roughly $217,000 from a special programs fund set up for the traffic camera money to build the sidewalks and install crosswalks, pavement markings, and pedestrian push buttons at traffic lights, Oak Ridge City Engineer Steve Byrd said.
