Investment

The Bridging the Gap transportation funding levy provides approximately $60 million for pedestrian improvements over the next six years (2009-2014). Based on current program allocations, funding for new improvements (e.g., sidewalks, curb ramps, signals) would be approximately $41 million, and funding for maintenance (e.g., sidewalk repair, crosswalk re-striping) would be approximately $19 million. This funding will be directed toward new infrastructure and maintenance needs in High Priority Areas. Additional improvements are likely to occur through private development and through by leveraging other public and private resources that may be leveraged.
