Somerset Drive Sidewalk Extension in Cedar Hill, TX

The Somerset Drive Sidewalk Extension in Cedar Hill is a completed renovation project that added approximately 1,390 linear feet of new pedestrian infrastructure. Located on Somerset Drive, the work extended the sidewalk from the Stadium Drive entrance northward to the end of the school property. This specific construction effort also included the installation of accessible ramps and repairs to road crossings to ensure safe passage for all users.

The City of Cedar Hill served as the owner of record for this $190,000 initiative. STV, Inc. was the design firm of record, while Andy Martin Mullins acted as the registered accessibility specialist. The project covered a total area of 6,950 square feet, resulting in a computed cost of $27 per square foot. This figure is below the Dallas County median of $73 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings.
