The recommendation to reject it from the town’s Community Development Standing Committee who stated that painting sidewalks is a safety issue. The committee said that a number of people complained to the town, some of which alleged to have fallen due to walking on a painted surface. Another concern expressed was the difficulty with removing it. In this new proposal, the GSA gave three different options to the town to navigate those issues. “Our previous proposal to paint the sidewalk in front of the school was understandably rejected due to the unaddressed safety issue that potentially may occur when the sidewalk becomes wet,” the GSA supervisors, Cindy Miller and Kendra Nesbitt wrote to the town.
