Safer Sidewalk Program

Over 100 areas within the Unincorporated County have requested sidewalk installation

Funding level is approved annually

Older areas of Salt Lake County were not required to install sidewalks at the time of development. This has created a need for installation of sidewalks due to the increasing number of school age children in Salt Lake County.

Two options are available for the installation of sidewalks:

Option 1: Request the County to analyze a street for sidewalks which will place them on a priority list based on number of vehicles on the road, number of pedestrians, schools in the area and the accident rate. The higher the project is on the priority list the sooner the project can be completed when funds become available. Requests must be made in writing. Send Requests to:

Salt Lake County Engineering
Attn: Transportation Engineer
2001 S State N3100
Salt Lake City, UT 84190

Option2: Create a Local Improvement District (LID) where the residents pay for sidewalks and the County installs it.
