OtherExplanation

ProposalDescriptionAndNeedsAlignment

Safe sidewalks keep people in the community on the sidewalks and out of the streets, which keeps individuals safe. This proposal addresses the needs of trip hazards, damaged and cracked sidewalks, and lack of sidewalks. 2

VisioningWorkshopFindingsAlignment

Creating safe sidewalks impacts the community directly because it improves individual property. This will then improve property value. Improved property values improves the community as a whole. Creating a safe community for persons to maneuver in improves the community as a whole - from a person who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, to the parents walking their child in a stroller, to the person riding their bike to work. People who are disabled in the community especially need safe sidewalks to be able to navigate their community.

PrioritiesAlignment

Not only do safe sidewalks impact the people in the community, they will help to create jobs for residents in the community. As the sidewalks are being improved, the workforce to do this will come from people who are from the North Omaha community.

temporary and permanent jobs will be created.
