Sidewalks are a vital part of the transportation infrastructure in a community. Unfortunately, many sidewalks suffer from issues including poor design, deferred maintenance, hazards, obstructions, and gaps. Most municipalities in PA have ordinances requiring property owners to maintain sidewalks; however, LTAP experience from around the state shows that many municipalities are not enforcing these ordinances. This can lead to a variety of issues, including: Poorly designed sidewalks that are not appropriate for residential streets; Gaps in the network, especially where sidewalk construction requirements are waived; Unwalkable sections of sidewalks, which may force pedestrians into conflicts with vehicles in the street; Sidewalks that are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), creating barriers to access for impaired pedestrians; Trip, slip, and fall hazards for pedestrians,
