Construction on Highland Village Road sidewalk begins The new sidewalk will connect to the existing sidewalk at the High- land Village Municipal Complex and head east along the east side of Highland Village Road, according to a city news release. The project is funded through a 2018 bond issue and was projected to cost about $883,350. Howev- er, the price increased by about $26,255 after the original contrac- tor defaulted on the project and a new contractor was hired by the city.
