Budget Proposal

Pearland Sidewalk Action Plan

Build a connected sidewalk network, prioritize ADA access, and make delivery transparent so residents can see what's next and why.

Current Process

How Pearland delivers sidewalks

The city currently uses three pathways to build and maintain sidewalk infrastructure.

Repairs (Work Orders)

Resident-reported hazards are inspected, prioritized, and fixed through raise, slice, or replace methods.

Corridor Projects

Continuous sidewalks are built as part of major roadway improvements along key corridors.

Citywide Gaps & Replacement

Bond/CIP work (including TR2401) audits missing segments and rebuilds older sidewalk networks across the city.

The Gap

What needs to be added

While the city has existing processes, several critical components are missing to create a truly connected and transparent sidewalk program.

One official hub page with the policy, scoring rubric, dashboard link, and an updated project list.

A "new sidewalk gap" request pipeline (separate from repairs) that feeds into the CIP each year.

A public completeness + curb ramp map so projects close real gaps and don't create "sidewalk islands."

Clear targets + reporting so progress is measurable and funding decisions are easy to verify.

5 Deliverables

The Plan

Five concrete deliverables to build a connected, transparent, and accountable sidewalk program for Pearland.

1

Sidewalk Program Hub

Create one City webpage with: repair policy, scoring criteria, dashboard link, rolling work list.

Publish monthly KPIs

2

Sidewalk Gap / New Sidewalk Pipeline

Add a dedicated request form for missing sidewalks. Score using published rubric (safety, schools/parks, connectivity, ADA).

Annual selection aligned to 5-Year CIP

3

Completeness + Curb Ramp Inventory Map

Publish a public map showing missing sidewalks, missing/noncompliant curb ramps, known barriers, priority corridors.

Update annually

4

Recurring "State-of-Good-Repair" Funding

Add baseline annual sidewalk renewal budget. Prioritize by risk and ADA impact.

Report quarterly

5

Prevent Future Sidewalk Islands

Update development rules so new projects connect sidewalks to existing network. If not feasible, require fee-in-lieu.

Policy update required

Pearland Parkway Vision

MovePearland Proposal vs Current Design

Compare the current design of Pearland Parkway with the MovePearland proposal for safer sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and a more connected street for everyone.

Proposal

A Safer Future for Pearland Parkway

  • Continuous sidewalks
  • Protected bike lanes
  • Improved accessibility
  • Multi-modal corridor

Why this comparison matters

Pearland Parkway should not only serve drivers. By adding sidewalks and protected bike lanes, Pearland can create a safer, more modern corridor that improves mobility, accessibility, and quality of life for the whole community.
