Abstract:

With funding from GDOT and STRIDE, the team deployed the Online Sidewalk Assessment Survey to gather input on local sidewalk repair and maintenance preferences across a variety of community types in the southeast. The team targeted four major cities in the Southeast United States, as well as four Georgia communities, and analyzed the results to assess region-wide similarities and differences. Post card survey invitations were mailed to 80,000 households throughout these targeted areas, including Gainesville, FL, Raleigh, NC, Starkville, MS, and Birmingham, AL, and four Georgia communities of Clarkston, Columbus, Douglasville, and Thomasville. This report summarizes the results of the data analysis and compares sidewalk preferences across cities in the STRIDE region. Research shows the public perceive the residential walking environment to be of lesser quality than in employment areas, the presence of sidewalks is correlated with reported walking activity, and prioritizing projects that address pedestrian safety near schools and bus stops has nearly universal support.
