Wheatland officials and other observers gathered Friday at the corner of Patton and Mercer avenues to dedicate a "much needed" new sidewalk.

They watched as Rachel Legg, 13, of Wheatland, helped snip a ceremonial ribbon.

"It's a good accomplishment for Wheatland," she said.

The sidewalk is expected to be used mostly by students walking to school. And with classes starting on Monday, Rachel, an eighth-grader in Farrell schools, said she will use it.

On the stroll to school, she said, students run into some streets that don't have sidewalks.
