Board briefed on sidewalk master plan and district funding from special‑obligation bond
Summary
Staff outlined a sidewalk master plan and explained that the bond package set aside roughly $2 million per commissioner district (about $11.8M total), with $3.8M designated to address the worst existing sidewalks; commissioners will decide district allocations for repair vs new sidewalks.
The board received a quarterly update on the sidewalk master plan and district allocations from a special‑obligation bond. Staff said the bond set aside about $2 million per commissioner district (totaling roughly $11.8 million) and that $3.8 million has been estimated to address sidewalks judged "serious and failed".
Board members asked how the bond funding interacts with the city’s existing CIP sidewalk budgets and whether ADA gaps will be prioritized. Staff replied that the master plan identified contiguous sidewalk gaps and that ADA issues within ‘‘serious and failed’’ segments will be included in repairs; commissioners will set district priorities for new vs. repair work.
