About
In February 2020, Gaston's Safe Routes to School Plan established the following goal:
“The Gaston School District community envisions a future where children and their families safely, comfortably, and conveniently walk and bicycle as part of the daily school commute and a healthy lifestyle.”
Currently, students living on the south end of town off of NW Matteson Road don't have a separated walking/biking path to get to the schools in the area and must walk along the shoulder of the highway. As a result, most students are either driven to school or take the bus.
We're building a sidewalk on the west side of OR 47 from NW Olson Road to NW Matteson Road.
When construction starts, you can expect:
Design: 2025 - 2027
Construction: 2028
