Summary
After a Public Works survey, the City Council approved a construction contract for a Community Development Block Grant sidewalk improvement project to remove and replace roughly 25,000 square feet of sidewalk, targeting ADA concerns and high-pedestrian locations; work is set to begin March 2 and finish July 2026.
The Pasadena City Council approved a construction contract for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sidewalk improvement project that will remove and replace roughly 25,000 square feet of sidewalk across the city.
The project, described by city staff and announced on the Rose City Report, prioritizes locations with significant vertical displacement, heavy pedestrian activity, streets with high vehicular traffic and places where residents have reported ADA-related accessibility concerns. Of the repair locations identified, about 28 are within service-area corridors cited by Public Works.
Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, March 2, with completion anticipated in July 2026, according to the announcement. The improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian safety, accessibility and stormwater drainage in surrounding neighborhoods.
The councils approval authorizes the city to execute the contract with the selected construction company under the CDBG award. The broadcast did not provide the contractors name, the council vote tally or the total contract value; those details were not specified.
City staff said the selection followed a comprehensive sidewalk survey by Public Works. The project scope and schedule may be subject to adjustments pending field conditions and permitting requirements.
Next steps include contract execution and pre-construction coordination with neighborhoods affected by the work. The city asks residents to consult the Public Works project page for lane closures, staging plans and final timelines.
