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:

5. There may be conditions such as new schools, major developments or other factors that affect priorities. How do these factors get evaluated?

The Answer:

There are always factors that can affect the established priorities, a change in school district boundaries and a new school or major residental development can alter priorities. The Department of Public Works' staff will annually conduct a minor update that will evaluate input from citizens, Commissioners and other sources that will keep the Sidewalk Program responsive to community needs.
