Sidewalk Strategic Plan
The purpose of the Sidewalk Strategic Plan, which was adopted by City Council in March 2008, is to prioritize implementation of new sections of sidewalk within the City of Peterborough. Sidewalks are key to support walking as a mode of transportation and recreation. The scope of this project includes missing sections of sidewalk and sidewalk ramps in existing developments throughout the city. The project does not include sidewalk repairs, which are handled through the Public Works Division.
This comprehensive analysis of sidewalk and curb cut needs guides sidewalk capital expenditures within the City. The map that was created to show the ranking of missing sidewalks is a helpful tool to identify where sidewalks are missing and their relative importance. Sidewalks are categorized into priorities from 1 to 4. The implementation plan, approved by Council in March 2008, includes the implementation of priority 1 and 2 sidewalks by 2022. This Plan facilitates maximum benefit derived from capital expenditures on pedestrian facility investments made by the City over the short and long term, while creating efficient and accessible pedestrian linkages throughout the community.

For further information, contact Peterborough Green-Up at 705-745-3238 ext. 203. By-law enforcement is primarily handled by Parking Enforcement Officers.
