Pedestrian safety is a high priority of the City of Rochester. With over 600 miles of sidewalk and 9,000 pedestrian ramps, the City performs annual maintenance projects on pedestrian facilities. This is to keep them accessible and safe for users and to efficiently extend the lives of these facilities through routine and preventative efforts.

On November 14, 2022, the City Council adopted the Sidewalk Improvement District program that reassigns the cost of sidewalk repairs and replacement from the adjacent property owner to a distribution among a greater portion of the community, as sidewalks are a benefit to and available for use by all.
