Local elected officials, city staff, Piedmont Beautification Foundation members, and the family of Denny McLeod celebrated the completion of the Highland-Guildford steps project at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday evening.
The city recently completed renovations of the steps, transforming what had been originally envisioned as an informal pedestrian pathway into a grand entrance to the Piedmont Park Cherry Walk and Tea House. After being closed for construction since December, the steps re-opened on June 2.

The ribbon cutting was followed by a reception recognizing outgoing city volunteers from 6:30 – 8 p.m. at Community Hall. (Exedra photos to come Friday.)
This project turned out well. It would be wonderful if we could next turn our attention to the large area behind the pre-school just above the pathway. It is used for weddings, is badly in need of renovation, and would greatly enhance the beauty and funcaltiy of the area.
