A sidewalk on Capital Blvd

Capital Boulevard Sidewalks

New sidewalks being built north of I-440 interchange

As part of the of the City's Capital Improvement Program we are installing sidewalks, updating curb ramps and providing signalized pedestrian crossings on the west side Capital Boulevard from south of Highwoods Avenue, near the control of access for I-440, north to a new transit shelter south of Brentwood Avenue, and along the east side from existing sidewalk on Appliance Court north to existing sidewalk at Westinghouse Boulevard.

Adjustments to the sidewalk width and setback may be included in the final design to avoid significant impacts in certain areas as needed and determined by our Engineering staff.

History

This is a Capital Improvement Project (CIP). Sidewalks are selected based on a prioritization methodology that includes the City’s Pedestrian Plan, pedestrian crashes, street classification, household income, speed limit, age of population, density and proximity to parks, schools, government facilities, shopping, bus stops, libraries, hospitals, museums and sports facilities. 

Design work started on this project in 2015 but was put on hold in 2016 for lack of funds. Funding for this project was made possible as a result of the 2013 and 2017 Bond.
