The Sidewalk Improvement District program uses a map of Rochester dived into 21 individual project areas. These individual project areas are grouped into six larger districts. The illustration below shows the project areas and districts proposed in November 2022.

Due to its relatively high-volume use, there will be a sidewalk project in the Downtown district every 5 years. The Downtown District projects occur at the same time in the rotation as the NE District.

The Sidewalk Improvement District map will be used for the 2023 sidewalk project. As the program rotates through the project areas on an annual basis, the City Council will adopt updates to the individual project area maps to capture any revisions to parcel and City boundaries.
