Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Direct Funding
Every year, money is allocated for sidewalk construction. To determine how that money is spent, City staff identifies and reviews sidewalk gaps. These sidewalk gaps are then prioritized based on several factors such as cost, location and safety benefits.

Capital Improvements Program Indirect Funding
Other capital improvements projects, such as road-widening projects, include sidewalk construction. For example, this process helped identify the gaps along Southlake Boulevard as a priority. Many of those gaps are being bridged as part of the ongoing Southlake Boulevard deceleration lane project.

Grant Funding
City staff actively seeks out federal and state grant funding opportunities for sidewalks and applies whenever we are eligible.

Developers Agreements
With limited exceptions, all new commercial and residential developments must provide sidewalks along City streets. 

Neighborhood Sidewalk Matching Funds Program
In accordance with the City of Southlake Sidewalk Plan adopted by the City of Southlake City Council November 6, 2007, residents can formally request the City to participate in up to 50% of the cost of designing and constructing sidewalks within their neighborhoods. Neighborhood organizations and Homeowners Associations are encouraged to apply for funds to build sidewalk projects they feel would make a difference in improving the safety of their neighborhoods or provide critical connections to schools, parks or other sidewalks.
