 Council likely will consider it in February.

Austin has 3,500 linear miles of absent sidewalk.

 City staff estimates it will cost $750 million to build out the network.  Staff is floating the idea of a 2010 bond election, but the City obviously won't try to fund the entire build-out.

 Hence, the Master Plan will determine who gets sidewalks within the next few years.
