The City of Dover is committed to maintaining and improving a safe and accessible pedestrian network. Each year, the Community Services Department evaluates sidewalks throughout the city and develops a prioritized list of locations that are in need of repair or replacement. Priorities are based on factors such as sidewalk condition, pedestrian use, safety concerns, accessibility, proximity to schools, parks, and public facilities, and available funding.

Once the list is finalized, the Engineering Division prepares the design and construction documents, coordinates any necessary utility work, and manages the competitive bidding process. Construction contracts are awarded to qualified contractors in accordance with state and local procurement requirements.

This page provides information on current and upcoming sidewalk improvement projects, including project locations, schedules, and construction updates. While every effort is made to minimize impacts, temporary pedestrian detours and traffic disruptions may occur during construction. Residents are encouraged to check this page regularly for the latest project information.
