URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Projects
About URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Projects
The Urban Road Maintenance District (URMD) funds small-scale pedestrian and biking improvement projects. These projects include sidewalks, pathways, and biking facilities. Since 2011, 49 URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Projects totaling over $21 million have been funded.
To be eligible, a proposed URMD pedestrian or biking improvement project must:
- Improve a specific pedestrian or biking safety concern
- Address a connectivity need (fill in a pedestrian or biking gap)
- Be located within the URMD
- Not already be on the candidate list
PLEASE NOTE: Traffic signals, signs, crosswalks and other pavement markings are handled by the Department of Land Use & Transportation Traffic Engineering section and do not qualify for URMD funding.
The public can submit Pedestrian and Biking Improvement proposals. Eligible proposals are added to the Pedestrian and Biking Improvements candidate list. Currently, the list has more than 200 candidates on it. Candidates are reviewed when funding becomes available, and candidates eligible for that funding are then considered. Currently, the only program with funding for pedestrian and biking improvements is the URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Program.
The Urban Road Maintenance District Advisory Committee (URMDAC) reviews the candidate list biennially (every other year) to identify projects for funding for the next two fiscal years. The public is asked to comment on the "top candidates" before URMDAC recommends candidates to be funded to the Board of County Commissioners. In the fall of 2017, projects were identified for the next two fiscal years. URMDAC is currently (2019) going through its review and recommendation again.
To view all URMD pedestrian and biking improvement candidates as well as funded projects, go to the URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvements Map.
