PROJECT DESCRIPTION

UUPI is responsible for nearly 500 miles of sidewalks within the city limits.  These sidewalks are subject to deterioration from vehicular loading, tree roots, and other age and environmental impacts.  Historically, the City has not used a program approach for sidewalk maintenance.  Repairs are generally made based on citizen calls or are associated with other improvements scheduled in the area. In 2017, the staff implemented an asset management approach to address sidewalk maintenance issues. Through that process, staff has identified nearly 20,000 sidewalk maintenance issues that require attention. This funding will be allocated for addressing those issues as well as other identified maintenance issues that impact safe pedestrian connectivity throughout the City.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE

PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE - OBJECTIVE 4-4: Enhance the City's network of roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks.
