AN ACT CONCERNING FEES IN LIEU OF SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS.

Summary

The bill lets local planning or zoning commissions create rules that permit developers to substitute a fee for constructing a public sidewalk, but only if the commission finds a sidewalk unnecessary or impractical. The fee is set by a formula, must be agreed to by both parties, and is placed in a dedicated sidewalk fund that can only be used for sidewalk construction or maintenance. This gives towns flexibility while still funding sidewalk infrastructure.
