The Madison City Commission will consider adopting a resolution that would direct property owners in several neighborhoods in the city to build sidewalks when the commissioners meet at 5:30 p.m. on Monday at City Hall.
The city commissioners tabled the same resolution last week so they could inspect the properties outlined in the resolution. During the commissioners' Dec. 21 meeting, property owners expressed concerns about the installation work damaging trees on their lots, about the need for the sidewalks, and about other issues.
The commissioners plan to conduct the meeting using distance-connection technology.
