Will the ADA Transition Plan include constructing new sidewalk?

Constructing new sidewalk is not part of the ADA transition plan. Sidewalk construction is typically accomplished through three methods: as a condition of private development, as part of a grant funded transportation project and by the adjacent property owners. If someone with a need reports missing sidewalk as a barrier, they can report it through the standard feedback procedure, and we can direct them to an accessible route.
