Requires construction of sidewalks along certain routes within certain radius of public schools.

This bill requires counties and municipalities in New Jersey to build and maintain sidewalks along hazardous walking routes near public schools. Specifically, sidewalks must be constructed within a two-mile radius of elementary schools and a two-and-a-half-mile radius of secondary schools, using existing criteria to identify hazardous routes. Local governments can fund these sidewalks using permit fees, donations, grants, or other available funds, but the requirement applies to public school routes deemed hazardous under current law. The law directly affects school districts and local governments responsible for street infrastructure, aiming to improve pedestrian safety for students walking to school.
