TAMPA, Fla. â Walk Bike Tampa, a local nonprofit dedicated to making Tampa s streets safe for pedestrians and bicyclists, is calling on the Tampa City Council to update a section of city code, to ensure new sidewalks are added when new homes and other buildings are built.
They say the current city code provides too many exemptions, which has left the city with over a thousand miles of sidewalk gaps.
So today, they re working with the council on a sidewalk workshop to fix the issue.
