What’s happening
The City is working on a long-term policy for sidewalk repair, and we need your help deciding where the City should fix them first. We also want your thoughts on the role property owners should have, since Olympia’s code says they are responsible for repairing sidewalks next to their property.
To understand the scale of the problem, in 2024 the City inventoried all sidewalks and rated their condition. You can explore the results in our story map, which includes a map showing sidewalk conditions across Olympia. There are also some survey questions embedded within the story map, and we hope you will take the time to answer them.
Please check it out. Your feedback will help shape a long-term sidewalk repair policy. Survey closes March 20.
Why is this important?
Damaged sidewalks create barriers for people walking, especially people using mobility aids like walkers, scooters, or wheelchairs. People can also get hurt when they trip and fall on a damaged sidewalk. Deciding how to prioritize repairs is a major policy question, and we could use your help in coming up with a long-term policy.
