Overview
The Sidewalk Committee is an advisory committee reporting to the Board of Selectmen. Using criteria developed by the Committee in its first year, the Committee created and continues to maintain a priority list a sidewalk projects to be constructed in Acton.
The Sidewalk Committee maintains the sidewalk priority list and the sidewalk designing guidelines. The Committee works to facilitate the construction of projects on the priority list by addressing funding issues, providing feedback and advice to Town staff, and working with concerned citizens and other Town boards interested in sidewalk issues.
