Will areas that do not currently have sidewalks be required to put them in upon annexation? Who pays for new sidewalks?
No, sidewalks will not be required upon annexation. The addition of sidewalks are typically required when a property is developed (or redeveloped). New sidewalks that are installed as part of a development project are paid for by the developer of the property. If no new development is proposed, new sidewalks could be added through a City Capital Improvement Project (CIP) if funding is available and if the improvements are prioritized among other City projects. Sidewalk repair/maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner.
