Where (some of) the (bond funding for more) sidewalk ends

This fall, the city marked a major milestone early – finishing the sidewalk program funded by the $720 million transportation bond approved in 2016. The project completed one year early, after constructing or repairing 56 miles of sidewalk with the $37.5 million allocated to the cause. Though Austin is nowhere close to completing its sidewalk network, with hundreds of miles still needing to be built, the work isn’t done either. Funds from 2018 and 2020 mobility bonds are being used toward the effort to complete the monumental task of filling the missing sidewalks in Austin.
