Sidewalks

Capital Sidewalk Program

The City’s Sidewalk Improvement Policy was created to provide an objective and consistent method for prioritizing sidewalk projects.

Sidewalks constructed as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), including TSPLOST funds, follow the Sidewalk Network Master Plan and focus on overall mobility needs. New development projects are also required to install sidewalks or provide funding in accordance with the City’s development regulations and impact fee ordinance.

The Neighborhood Sidewalk Program referenced in the presentation provides an opportunity for neighborhoods to partner with the City to add primarily recreational and amenity-focused sidewalk features to local residential streets.
