An overview of the Urban Sidewalk Program.
Overview

The Sidewalk Program was established by the Legislature in 1995 to provide funding for pedestrian projects. The program is available to both small city and urban agencies. Urban and small city projects compete separately.

To be eligible for the program:

  • The intent of the project must be transportation and not recreation.
  • The project must be on a federally classified route (principal, minor, or collector).
Projects improve pedestrian safety, access, connectivity, and address system continuity. Completed projects must be consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
