Macon-Bibb County Approves Sidewalk Study to Assess Safety, Accessibility

MACON, Ga. — Macon-Bibb County officials have approved a new agreement to evaluate sidewalks across the county as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements.

The Macon-Bibb County Commission on April 7, 2026, approved a $394,167 contract with StreetScan USA, Inc., doing business as CityLogix, to conduct a comprehensive sidewalk analysis.

The project will assess the condition of existing sidewalks and identify areas in need of repair or upgrades. It will also evaluate compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure accessibility for residents and visitors.

“This work helps us better understand what we have and where we need to go,” said Mayor Lester Miller. “It’s about making our community safer and more accessible for everyone.”

Officials said StreetScan will use advanced technology and mapping tools to create a detailed inventory of sidewalks throughout the county. The data collected is expected to guide future planning and investment decisions.

The project will be funded through the 2018 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax under the county’s Road Work program.

County leaders said the sidewalk study is part of the broader “Paving the Way” initiative, which began with an evaluation of nearly 1,100 miles of county-owned paved roads. Since the program launched in summer 2025, nearly 100 miles of roads have been repaved, compared to an average of 7 to 8 miles annually in previous years.
