Historical September 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Several years ago the City instituted a 50/50 Sidewalk Repair program whereby the city shares the cost of repairing sidewalks in front of residential properties with the property owner.
The city pays 50%, the owner pays 50%.
Many property owners are not aware that the sidewalk in front of their homes is their responsibility.
The city’s building code states “All sidewalks, steps, driveways, parking spaces and similar paved areas for public use shall be kept in a proper state of repair and free of all snow, ice, mud and other debris.
If any sidewalk or driveway or portion thereof by virtue of its state of repair shall constitute a danger to public health and safety, the sidewalk or driveway or portion thereof shall be replaced!’ Building inspectors can issue citations for violating this code.
The 50/50 program which assists owners with costly sidewalk repairs has limited funding.
Each ward is allotted money for the program every year; when the allotment is spent, no repairs are made under the program until the next year.
The current waiting list is 18 to 24 months.
If you would like to take advantage of this program and get on the waiting list, call Streets and Traffic, 647-3111, ext. 137.
The request must be made by the property owner.
