Providing for continuous, safe, and accessible pedestrian passage during certain construction projects.

Summary

The bill requires contractors to keep sidewalks and walkways open or provide temporary, ADA‑compliant routes whenever work occurs near hospitals, public parks, school speed or walk zones, and general roadway work zones. It bans sidewalk closures unless a same‑side detour is truly impossible, and it sets design, inspection and penalty rules to enforce the requirement. The goal is to protect pedestrians, including people with disabilities, and to keep emergency access to hospitals uninterrupted.
