Flower Mound asks residents to spruce up sidewalks

The town of Flower Mound is asking its residents to spruce up the sidewalks in front of their home in time for the new school year.

“This is a great time” to make sure sidewalks are pedestrian-friendly and code-compliant, the town news release said.

Residents are encouraged to trim all tree limbs that hang over sidewalks, allowing for a vertical clearance of at least eight feet, and at least 14 feet over streets, according to the news release. Also, make sure sidewalks are clear of encroaching vegetation like bushes, and free of mud build-up and other trash or debris.

“By following a few simple sidewalk spruce-up tips, you’re helping kids travel to and from school safely while upholding Flower Mound property standards,” the news release said.
