City Installing 2.5 Miles of New Sidewalks to Improve Safety and Accessibility
This year, the City is preparing to add approximately 2.5 miles of sidewalks in areas where there are currently no sidewalks to make our neighborhoods safer and more accessible for all. The City’s New Sidewalk Program will continue the City’s comprehensive plan to create a complete network with a sidewalk on at least one side of every neighborhood street.
2025 New Sidewalk Program
Residents who live on the street segments listed below will see surveyors contracted by the City marking and measuring for the placement of new sidewalks in their neighborhoods in the next several weeks. Engineers will then design plans for the sidewalk layout, and residents will receive a notice with the proposed layout, along with instructions on how to provide comments on the plans. Once the City finalizes plans, these residents will receive notices with estimated construction schedules and follow-up instructions. Construction is anticipated to begin in July.

- Stoddard Avenue, from existing sidewalk at 2007 Stoddard Avenue to existing sidewalk at 2015 Stoddard Avenue
