Sidewalk Program

Welcome to the Sidewalk Program web site.
The Sidewalk Program is a special project of the Seminole County Engineering Division.

WHAT IS THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM?
The Sidewalk Program was developed by overwhelming voter support of the 2nd Generation One-Cent Sales Tax Program. By building new sidewalks, the Sidewalk Program enhances mobility, but the predominate function of the program is to provide a safe passage for pedestrians, especially children.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SIDEWALK PROGRAM

The Question:

3. Do sidewalks go on both or one side of the roadway?

The Answer:

Every attempt will be made to locate sidewalks on both sides of the roadway especially in local subdivisions where walkability is a prime concern. On arterial and collector roadways, there will be times when constraints (environmental, righ-of-way or other features) only allow sidewalks to be installed on one side of the road. This condition should be considered the exception, not the rule.
