Fargo engineer: sidewalks are required on every street; city expanding shared-use paths
Summary
Tom Nachmus said Fargo ordinance requires sidewalks on every street and the city is filling gaps in older areas while expanding shared-use paths along river corridors and to new developments.
City Engineer Tom Nachmus said Fargo ordinance has long required sidewalks on streets and the city continues to work on installing sidewalks where gaps exist. "It’s been in Fargo ordinance for many, many years that it's required to be on every street," he said, adding the city focuses on expanding shared-use paths along river corridors and connecting new developments to that system.
Nachmus said sidewalks are one tangible benefit residents see daily and that many homeowners consider sidewalk and trail access when deciding where to live. He encouraged residents to review the engineering pages on fargond.gov for specific sidewalk projects and timelines.
