Walkways are the portion of the public right–of–way that provide a separated area for people traveling on foot. Walkways that are safe, accessible and aesthetically pleasing attract pedestrians. People walk for many reasons: to go to a neighbor’s house, to run errands, to school, or to a business meeting. People also walk for recreation and health benefits or for the enjoyment of being outside. It is a public responsibility to provide a safe and comfortable system for all people who walk.
