In November of 2020, voters approved a six-year sidewalk millage. This millage, which generates an annual revenue of approximately $1.3 million, is used exclusively to fill sidewalk gaps. Funding from the millage applies to all sidewalks constructed adjacent to tax-paying parcels in the City of Ann Arbor. The city developed a prioritization system for the public right-of-way where sidewalks do not currently exist. The system considers proximity to schools, transit, and other pedestrian attractors; equity; classification of adjacent road; community support/citizen requests; and safety. This system identifies the highest priority sidewalk gaps for inclusion in the city's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
Please visit the city's new sidewalk website for more information and to view the dashboard.
The Dexter Road sidewalk gap scores in the Highest range.
New sidewalk (approximately 3,500 feet) will be installed along one side of Dexter Road between Seybold Drive and Ironwood Drive/Rose Drive, within the public right-of-way.
The side of Dexter Road the sidewalk will be constructed on is yet to be determined.
The project is currently anticipated to be approximately $1,000,000, funded by the sidewalk millage.
