Prioritization Criteria
Sidewalk Condition Index (SCI)
•Each sidewalk segment is rated
on a scale from 0 to 100 based on
visual condition, including cracking,
spalling, and
traversability.Segments with an
SCI of 70 or below are considered
for repair.
Network Priority Index (NPI)
•This score reflects how critical a
sidewalk segment is to the
community. It considers proximity
to, schools, transit stops, parks,
commercial zones, beach access
and public parking.
Priority Ranking Score (PRS)
•A weighted formula combines
SCI (60%) and NPI (40%) to
produce a PRS. This score
determines the urgency and
importance of repairs.
