Road Reconstruction Task Force Final Report September 21, 1992 Page 3 SIDEWALKS The Task Force reviewed existing sidewalk locations and discussed locations for additional sidewalks. Streets with the greatest traffic volume that warrant sidewalks are typically under the jurisdiction of the Counties, but should have priority. The attached map shows the locations the Task Force has identified for additional sidewalks. Sidewalk locations have been selected to reduce potential problems between high traffic areas and pedestrians. Properties along the designated route should be required to install the sidewalk at the time vacant property is developed.
