ANNUAL SIDEWALK AND MAINTENANCE REPAIR PROGRAM CONTINUES
Work is performed by subdivision section
As part of the City Council Strategic Priority of ensuring a sustainable infrastructure, the City addresses sidewalk maintenance and repair through its Annual Sidewalk Maintenance and Repair Program. City contractors perform the services which include: removal and replacement of various driveway sections impacted by City utilities, the installation of new wheelchair ramps, curb removal and replacements, the installation of root barriers, the adjustment of manholes and valve boxes, as well as saw-cutting for sidewalks for repairs.
Repair work is performed by subdivision section. The subdivision sections are selected based on the severity of need as identified through the Rights of Way (ROW) Assessment and staff inspections. The ROW assessment was completed in Fiscal Year 2014 and provided the city with a condition analysis of many of its above ground infrastructure assets including sidewalks.
The objective is to send a contractor into an area and make all of the needed repairs, which is more practical than moving from work request location to work request location and allows for better pricing, since the contractors do not have to move frequently.
A recent inventory and assessment survey was completed and determined that the City has 2.5 million linear feet or 476 miles of sidewalk in the ROW, and nearly 300 million square feet of sidewalk and 4,151 ADA ramps.
There are more than 800 open work requests for sidewalk repair work throughout the community. However, there are far more unreported sidewalks in need of repair. To report a sidewalk in need of repair, call 281.265.1900 or use the City’s mobile app, Connect2Pearland, on your Apple iOS or Android devices or online at pearlandtx.gov/c2p.
Edible Fruit Trail
The Mary's Creek Edible Fruit Trail is located just north of the Stella Roberts Recycle Center. It is fixed along Pearland's Connectivity Trail and offers a variety of fresh fruit throughout the year. The trail, originally one Eagle Scout's project, has now had many contributions from several organizations.
