At this rate, it will take Dallas 150 years to fix its sidewalks; that’s unacceptable | Opinion
The Dallas Budget Initiative Tracker reports the city’s 2021-22 goal was to fix 20.4 miles of sidewalks, which, according to the tracker, will be achieved by Oct. 22. What is left unsaid is that the Department of Public Works in 2021 identified 1,081 miles of sidewalk that need fixing to reduce tripping hazards. If all the current sidewalks never deteriorated, and no new sections were needed as the city grows, this would take 50 years at the current rate of commitment.
The Department of Public Works also identified an additional 2,085 miles of missing sidewalks. So at that same rate of commitment, add another 100 years to the project. Adding details to the construction standards for how to install new sections of sidewalk against old sections. This one detail could have addressed thousands of trip hazards. A no-cost suggestion.
