Following a multi-year planning and development process, we are excited to replace our current website on September 26 with a new design that will serve as a digital gateway to a wide variety of public services and information.

URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Projects

The Urban Road Maintenance District (URMD) funds small-scale pedestrian and biking improvement projects, including sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes. Since 2011, 62 URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Projects totaling over $23 million have been funded.

To be eligible, a proposed 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

If you have a suggestion for an improvement, you can submit it to be added to be reviewed and added to the candidate map. Candidates are reviewed when funding becomes available within the URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Program.

The Urban Road Maintenance District Advisory Committee (URMDAC) reviews the candidate list every other year to identify projects for funding for the next two fiscal years. You will be given an opportunity to comment to help inform URMDAC on their recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners for funding approval. 

The URMD Pedestrian and Biking Improvements Map features all improvement candidates, as well as funded projects. 

For more information, email our Community Program Coordinator, or call 503-846-7615.
