Information
This memorandum transmits an update on the status of Village sidewalk improvement
programs pursuant to the Policy Agenda of the 2027 Strategic Plan.
The Village continues to invest in maintaining and improving its sidewalk infrastructure
through resurfacing, grinding, panel replacement, ADA improvements, mudjacking, and full
sidewalk replacement projects. Between 2021 and 2025, approximately 1,209,425 square feet
of sidewalk were improved, representing approximately 20.0% of the Village's 6,034,324-
square-foot sidewalk network. During this same period, staff inspected 4,400,880 square feet
of sidewalk or approximately 73% of the Village's sidewalk inventory.
Staff utilizes a variety of methods to maintain and improve sidewalks. The table below
summarizes these methods:

hazard
Sidewalks are repaired or replaced for several important reasons. These reasons include
elimination of vertical offsets that create trip hazards, alleviation of ponding and drainage
issues, elimination of significant cross -slope deficiencies, removal of significantly cracked,
settled, heaved, or deteriorated panels, and to improve accessibility for individuals with
mobility challenges.
Since 2021, the Village has expended an average of $1,619,503 per year on sidewalk
improvement programs.
In addition, the Village also installs new sidewalks each year to fill gaps in the existing
network. The New Sidewalk program prioritizes gap infill to improve the Village's pedestrian
transportation networks and promote safe and efficient non -vehicular travel. The Village
installs new sidewalks every year based on our criteria (Priority Matrix) and available funds.
A sidewalk prioritization matrix exists to determine the schedule for installing new sidewalks.
Priority is given to locations along arterial streets followed by collectors and then local roads.
The priority matrix will rank missing sidewalk segments based on a number of factors
including traffic volume, driveways, bus stops, bike routes and lighting. Factors also include
nearby destinations such as schools, parks, churches, shopping and restaurants.
New sidewalk projects currently in progress include Oakton Street, Schoenbeck Road, and
Wolf Road.
Attached please find maps depicting the location and rankings, and estimated cost of projects
in the New Sidewalk Priority Matrix.
Also attached is a summary of new sidewalk construction projects since 2022.

SidewalksWhy i
• Vertical offsets that create trip hazards
• Ponding and drainage issues
• Significant cross -slope deficiencies resulting in ADA compliance concerns
• Cracked, settled, heaved, or deteriorated panels
• Locations requiring ADA accessibility improvements
• Preventative maintenance extends the useful life of the sidewalk network and reduces long-term replacement
costs.
• The Village improved an average of approximately 241,885 square feet of sidewalk per year from 2021 through
2025.
• The highest annual sidewalk cost occurred in 2024 due to higher per -square -foot replacement costs, resulting
in fewer square feet completed than 2023.
