Sidewalk Program

 The City of Sammamish Sidewalk Program adds sidewalk and non-motorized facilities within the community to foster connectivity and multi-modal connections. The program focuses on smaller projects such as filling sidewalk gaps and completing the non-motorized transportation system. Projects within this program are smaller in scale and cost, which allow staff to bundle several projects together for efficiency throughout the design and construction phases. The structure of the program, project prioritization, and the lists of current projects are described below.

Program Structure

Projects are identified for this program based on requests from the community, staff observation, and transportation planning efforts. Projects qualify for this program if they meet the following criteria:

• The project location is not within the project limits of a larger project included in the 2025-2030 TIP (i.e.: a Connection or Corridor Project); and

• The project intent is to provide or enhance pedestrian and/or multi-modal connectivity within the community (typically referred to as “sidewalk gaps”); and
• Estimated construction cost is $350,000 or less.

For information on how to request a sidewalk project, see the Public Involvement section of the webpage, below.

Project Prioritization

Once a project qualifies for the Sidewalk Program, it is added to the Sidewalk Priority List.  Each year, the projects on the list are assigned priority scores based on a criterion that includes proximity to schools and parks, safety factors, shoulder width, etc. Once a score is assigned, the projects are completed in order beginning with projects that have the highest priority score.

 Current Program Projects

In January 2025, the City of Sammamish scored the projects in the Sidewalk Priority List. Design then began on the highest-scoring project on the list – the SE 32nd Street Sidewalk Improvements Project. Click on the link below to see information about this project.
