The City Council is currently working on a new policy to improve the city’s sidewalks.  Right now it is quite generic, but it does set a goal of bringing the sidewalks into good repair and sets up a systematic approach to inspecting and maintaining sidewalks. The new resolution is sponsored by Councilmembers Russ Johnson, Terry Riley, Cindy Circo, and John Sharp.

One caveat, this policy will focus on maintaining existing sidewalks.  Neighborhoods without any sidewalks will be the subject of another future effort.
