Neighborhood Sidewalk Repair Program Botanic Gardens August 11, 2018
Neighborhood Sidewalk Repair Program Overview Program is addressing sidewalks, citywide, that are damaged, uneven, or sloping excessively, Authorizing lower-cost repair methods such as patching to fill cracks and grinding. Goal is to ensure our City has a well-maintained sidewalk network and better conditions for travelling. This program addresses existing sidewalks that present a hazard to members of the public. This program does not address missing sidewalks or gaps in sidewalks – that is being addressed by the City’s Sidewalk Gap Program.
