Sidewalk Maintenance & Repair
Sidewalk Maintenance & Repair
Sidewalks provide a safe and level walkway and provide separation between motor vehicles and pedestrians. They also provide a safer place, as opposed to the street, for children to walk and play. Sidewalk maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, occupant, lessor or agent. For more information about City programs and services related to sidewalk maintenance and repairs, visit the MyStreet page.
