Stanwood: School sidewalk repairs begin Students at Stanwood High School will have a new sidewalk to use when they return in the fall. The old sidewalk is being removed this week, public works director Andy Bullington said. Stanwood City Council recently approved the repair of the sidewalk, which is located on 272nd Street between Pioneer Highway and 80th Street. About 882 square feet of sidewalk, 200 linear feet of curb and gutter and 20 spot repairs of sidewalk cracks are expected. In addition, some tree roots will be cut to keep the sidewalk from cracking. Landscaping will get topsoil and seed, Bullington said. More info: 360-629-9781. READER COMMENTS Be the first to comment.
