The Ringgold City Council has taken another big step towards realizing its vision of erecting a pedestrian walking bridge at the historic Depot by agreeing to put the project out for bid.
During a special called meeting on Wednesday, April 3, the council unanimously approved to pay the approximate $8,500 it would take to finalize all the details needed in order to take bids on the construction.

When Ringgold, Ga., gets a new pedestrian bridge over its main drag, Nashville Street, concrete cannonballs will adorn two of the bridge's abutments.
They'll be a nod to Maj. Samuel B. Ringgold, who's known as the "Father of Modern Artillery" for introducing the U.S. Army to concepts such as a "flying artillery" -- cannons moved quickly around the battlefield.
Ringgold is one of half a dozen towns named after the Mexican-American War hero, who died after enemy cannon fire mangled his legs.
