About The Plan

The Countywide Sidewalk Connectivity Plan is focused on improving conditions for people traveling on foot or with mobility devices throughout unincorporated San Joaquin County. By creating a comprehensive inventory of where sidewalks currently exist today, and getting robust feedback from the community, the Plan will identify a prioritized list of locations for future sidewalk and pedestrian projects at locations throughout the County. 

Goals

  1. Enhance pedestrian safety throughout the County. 
  2. Create a continuous and integrated pedestrian network. 
  3. Ensure equitable access to pedestrian infrastructure for all users. 
  4. Promote walking as a means to improve community health and environmental stability. 

Community Input

Engaging with the community is a main priority of the Plan. Community outreach will begin in late 2024. Please see the Community Events page for details. 

Online Map

Show us what improvements you would like to see! Use the interactive mapping tool to share your comments about walking in your community. 
We want to hear from you about: 
  • Places you currently walk to 
  • Destinations you would like to walk t 
  • Areas that are difficult or challenging to access on foot 
  • Other ideas you might have 

The Mapping Tool allows you to place your comments at a specific location on a map. You can also interact with comments submitted by other people. If you see a suggestion that you like you can upvote it or add a comment.
