Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk, and Drive Approach Replacement

By City ordinance 14.32.305, the repair or replacement of deteriorated sidewalk, drive approach, and curb and gutter in the public way is the responsibility of the adjacent private property owner. Property owners can hire a private contractor for concrete repairs, which requires a permit to work in the public way. Further information regarding the public way permit process can be obtained by contacting the Engineering Division, Permitting, at 801-535-6203 or by email at Engineering.Permits@slc.gov.

Single-dwelling residential property owners can also utilize the 50/50 concrete program. Due to overwhelming demand and a high volume of projects, our 50/50 and commercial concrete program schedule for the year’s 2025 and 2026 are completely booked. For those residents who were hoping to participate in our 2025 or 2026 season, we regret any inconvenience this may cause. We have put a hold on any new 50/50 or commercial estimates until 07/01/2026.

The city does utilize limited funds to repair sidewalks in cases of emergency, for city-owned properties, special projects, and when a city-owned tree is impacting the sidewalk.

Report a sidewalk issue with mySLC. 

For questions or concerns about sidewalk ADA ramps or waterway construction, call the Engineering Division at 801-535-7961.

Asphalt Maintenance

Salt Lake City resurfaces and repairs over 1,850 lane miles of City-owned roadways. Maintenance includes activities such as milling, chip seal, fog seal, slurry seal, crack seal, level patching, and pothole repair. The Streets and Engineering Divisions decide what type of maintenance each road will receive.

The Pavement Management Team collects and analyzes data to identify the most cost-effective maintenance strategies for the city’s roadway network. They evaluate road conditions through field inspections and automated surveys, which inform the maintenance plans for each road.

Learn more on the surface treatments webpage.

Call the Streets Division at 801-535-2345 or report asphalt roadway issues with mySLC.

Concrete Road Maintenance

The Streets Division strives to maintain 11 lane miles of concrete roads annually. Concrete road maintenance involves resealing the concrete joints and, on occasion, replacing concrete slabs. Please email Mitch Hansen at Mitch.Hansen@slc.gov for more information.

We will send advance notice about concrete roadway maintenance to residents and businesses approximately one week before it begins. Then we will send a second notification one day prior, detailing any actions you may need to take. The day before maintenance starts, we will place “No Parking” signs on the street. If a vehicle has not moved and we cannot contact the owner, we will tow it to the nearest street and inform SLCPD of its new location.

Street Reconstruction

Through the City’s Capital Improvement Program, we designate roads that have exceeded their functional life for reconstruction. On all reconstruction projects, we install or improve ADA ramps and damaged curbs that impede drainage. Residents can find information about these projects on the street reconstruction webpage.

For further information on pavement management, email David Jones at David.Jones@slc.gov.

Snow Removal
