The SR-20 Pedestrian Walkway would be an extension of the sidewalk network from Logan Street to Hancock Street. The project will be located on the south side of Sims Way and crosses a ravine where pedestrians must currently walk into the bike lane.

Project Funding The project is currently funded through a permitting and design only grant through the Peninsula Regional Transportation Planning Organization (PRTPO) Transportation Alternative Program (TAP). Total project (permitting and design) budget is$120,000. Having a preliminary design package will greatly assist the City in seeking funding for the construction phase of the project.
