A significant sidewalk project in Farmer City that would provide a much safer path through the community to a heavily trafficked area is likely to be moved to 2026.

That's according to City Manager for the City of Farmer City Taylor Baxter, who told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show on Thursday they are waiting on the Illinois Department of Transportation to approve the funding.

Baxter indicates a sidewalk through the community will provide more safety for those who access Casey's on foot. He calls it dangerous in its current state.

Baxter notes a lot is going on with the Interstate 74 development, and some dirt will be moving this summer. Additionally, the City is gearing up for the summer pool season and the upcoming Heritage Days celebration at the end of the month. 

We'll have more on that with Baxter coming up in the days ahead on Regional Radio.
