Project Description/Scope/Purpose
This project provides annual funding for replacing damaged or raised sidewalks, curbs, and gutters throughout the City. Typical work includes design, verifying repair locations, tree removal, and replacement if needed, bidding and contracting, inspection, and project closeout.
To address the growing backlog of sidewalk maintenance, City staff launched a pilot program for FY 24/25 to evaluate 2,600
locations in the current replacement list. A contractor will inspect these sidewalks, perform concrete shaving to eliminate tripping hazards at select locations, and collect data to prioritize repairs (RTC 24-1138). This program will help staff streamline projects and improve the efficiency of sidewalk maintenance. The pilot is expected to be completed by Fall 2025, providing valuable insights into how mitigation methods like concrete shaving can reduce the backlog.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
Demand for sidewalk replacement work has grown significantly due to tree roots damaging sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and aprons. The replacement list currently includes approximately 4,700 pending repairs. This backlog of damaged sidewalks is a major source of resident complaints and presents critical challenges for the City, including increased liability, accessibility barriers, and reduced neighborhood appeal. Damaged sidewalks hinder the City ’s commitment to maintaining a multi-modal
transportation network as outlined in the General Plan.
Fiscal Impact
This project is funded by the 2016 VTA Measure B Fund.
