Project Spotlight: Sidewalks and Pedestrian Safety đŸš¶
Walking has become a popular mode of transportation for commuters in our city. This may be, in part, due to the Charlotte Strategic Mobility Plan, which is the city's blueprint focused on providing a variety of mobility options for the community.

Included in the streets bond is $55 million that will go toward sidewalks and pedestrian safety in Charlotte with the goal of making walking safe, comfortable and convenient for people of all ages, abilities and neighborhoods. If approved, the bonds will help construct new sidewalks, connect sidewalk gaps, and install pedestrian crossings and signals, furthering connectivity and accessibility for pedestrians.

For more information about the streets bond and other transportation projects included, please visit our website.
Frequently Asked Question
Q: Some of the roads, intersections and neighborhoods that are getting bond monies seem fine the way they are. Why do we need to renovate or improve them?
ï»żA: Needed repairs may not be apparent to the untrained eye. City engineers monitor our infrastructure carefully and have detailed, long-range plans for maintenance and improvement. Whether a private residence or a city street, the process is ongoing and becomes more expensive if not properly and diligently managed.
