Additional Pedestrian Facilities
In 2006, the Vienna Sidewalk Task Force, composed of representatives from the Town’s Planning and Transportation Safety Commissions, conducted a survey to get citizen input on the need for additional pedestrian facilities.

Project Priority Criteria
Based on the responses to that survey, the Task Force prioritized projects into four groups to recommend to the Town Council, giving top priority to areas without any sidewalks followed by areas with sidewalks already on one side of the street. Other criteria included providing walking routes to schools, bus stops and shopping, and infill where sidewalks are not continuous.

Citizen Comments
At its September 22, 2008 meeting, the Town Council received citizen comments on the proposed list of sidewalk construction priorities.

Safe Routes to School Program
During 2011, a Vienna Elementary School Travel Plan and Cunningham Park Elementary School Travel Plan were developed to analyze travel patterns and propose improvements to encourage walking and bicycle riding to school.
