Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk, and Drive Approach Replacement

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.

By City ordinance 14.32.300, 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, or property owners can utilize the 50/50 concrete program. Visit the Sidewalk Program page for more information about the 50/50 concrete program.

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.

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.

Residents and businesses will receive advance notice about concrete roadway maintenance approximately one week before it begins. A second notification will be sent one day prior, detailing any actions you may need to take. The day before maintenance starts, “No Parking” signs will be placed on the street. If a vehicle is not moved and the owner cannot be contacted, it will be towed to the nearest street, and SLCPD will be informed of its new location.

Street Reconstruction

Roads that have exceeded their functional life are programmed for reconstruction through the City’s Capital Improvement Program. ADA ramps are installed or improved and damaged curbs that impede drainage are repaired on all reconstruction projects. Residents can find information about these projects on the street reconstruction webpage.

Further information regarding pavement management can be obtained by emailing David Jones at David.Jones@slc.gov.
