City's ADA Sidewalk Repair Project Surpasses 24,000 Feet

The City of Pensacola's Public Works and Facilities Department has repaired approximately 24,590 linear feet of sidewalk and installed 398 curb ramps as part of the city's Americans with Disabilities Act Sidewalk Assessment. Approximately 3,410 additional linear feet of sidewalk is expected to be repaired by 2023, along with an additional 1,623 curb ramps.

The city completed an ADA Sidewalk Assessment in 2017 to evaluate existing sidewalks for ADA deficiencies, identifying approximately 28,100 linear feet of sidewalks and another 2,021 new curb ramps needed in order to achieve an acceptable level of ADA compliance. 

"It's always exciting to see sidewalks become more accessible to our residents," Mayor Grover Robinson said. "Accessibility is essential to creating a well-connected community, and I commend our Public Works & Facilities Staff for their continued work to repair these sidewalks and make them ADA compliant, creating a more accessible city for all." 

Sidewalk repair projects were also prioritized in the survey to create a master sidewalk improvement project list, which is available on the city's website.
