This GIS (Geographic Information System) layer provides detailed information about the sidewalk infrastructure across the city. The layer represents individual sidewalk segments, which are divided at property boundaries and street intersections. Each segment is mapped with precise location data to help understand the layout of sidewalks in the city.
Purpose
The dataset supports the City's commitment to maintaining a safe, accessible pedestrian network. It is used by City staff across departments for ADA assessments, maintenance planning, infrastructure upgrades, public inquiries, and capital improvement prioritization.
Maintenance & Updates
The dataset is maintained by the Transportation Maintenance GIS Specialist. Updates occur as sidewalks change \\u2014 for example, after new construction, sidewalk repairs, or when previously buried sidewalks are restored. All updates are based on field inspections conducted by trained personnel to ensure data accuracy.
While the data was comprehensively reviewed and published in April 2025, it is updated iteratively as changes are reported or observed. There is currently no standardized citywide procedure for notifying the GIS team when sidewalk conditions change, which may result in temporary data gaps.
To help keep the dataset accurate, users are encouraged to report discrepancies or recent sidewalk changes using the Cityworks \\u201cStreet Asset GIS Update\\u201d Work Order Template.
Known Limitations
The dataset may not immediately reflect recent sidewalk changes due to delays in reporting and inspection. Coordination with other departments is ongoing to improve update workflows.
