HARLINGEN — The city wants to give you miles to walk.
City commissioners have approve applications for $5.3 million from the Texas Department of Public Safety to build abouit 22 miles of sidewalks.
The grants require the city fund $884,600 of the project cost.
“It’s all part of our goal to have a walkable community — a healthy alternative to walking,” Assistant City Manager Carlos Sanchez said.
Sanchez said the city is confident it will land the grants because the sidewalks would be located on state right-of-way off Business 83.
