In November, Denver voters will decide whether to publicly fund sidewalk construction and upkeep by adding a new fee for property owners, which would charge per foot of sidewalk on their lot. via robharristv
The fee would be paid twice per year, according to the initiative, and would cost an average household about $107 per year. Some home owners, however, could be met with substantially higher costs than their neighbors, according to data shared with Denver7 by Denver City Councilmember Kevin Flynn.
The home Flynn described, located in southwest Denver, has sidewalks on three sides of the property, including along Sheridan Blvd. Under the pricing structure of the initiative, property owners pay between $2.15 and $4.30 per foot of frontage, with arterial streets costing more. Corner lots and so-called peninsula lots, therefore, would have higher costs than other homes in their same neighborhood.
“I’ve got a lot of sidewalks. So if they charge per linear foot, I’m going to pay more than my neighbor across the street,” Vigil said. “I don’t think that’s fair. Many Denver sidewalks do need attention. According to the city, about 40% of sidewalks are either missing or too narrow — with nearly half in lower-income areas — which can especially impact those with disabilities.
