Georgetown leaders are looking to finalize and adopt the city’s updated Sidewalk Master Plan by the end of year.
Some context
The Sidewalk Master Plan aims to prioritize connectivity in Georgetown’s existing network, focus on filling gaps in areas without sidewalks and supporting projects near schools to provide direct access and create safer routes, according to the city. The proposed plan will be an update to the city’s 2014 Sidewalk Master Plan.
The projects are broken down into four tiers in order of priority:
- Public schools: sidewalk sections that provide direct access to schools, with a focus of elementary and middle schools
- Downtown: focuses on completing the downtown sidewalk network
- Gaps: pinpoints connectivity gaps in the sidewalk network
- Small capital improvements: projects that do not require complicated design and are less than 200 feet in length
