Why it matters
Safe sidewalks connect families to jobs, schools, and stores. This project uses federal and local money to build walking paths in neighborhoods that need them most, making it safer for kids to walk to school and parents to reach bus stops.
If this passes
Neighborhoods get new sidewalks and trails, making it safer to walk to schools, bus stops, and stores. Federal money gets matched with local funds to build more.
If this does not pass
Project would have less money and might build fewer sidewalks. Some neighborhoods would keep waiting longer for safe walking paths.
