    4. SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM

    5. Historical Look At The City’s Sidewalk Policy

    6. Historical Between 1978 to 2000, no full scale permanent sidewalk repair program existed in the City. In the interest of public safety, the Bureau made repairs with asphalt at no direct cost to the property owner. For the first time in 25 years, a budget was approved in the 2000-2001 budget for approximately $9 million to permanently repair 46 miles of the most damaged sidewalks. In 2001-2002, the Sidewalk Repair Program was again funded and increased to repair an additional 98 miles of sidewalks Fiscal Year 2002-2003, the Mayor and City Council increased the program by 20 miles to a total of 118 miles.

    7. Criteria For Sidewalk Repair Areas where slip, trip and fall accidents have occurred. Where tree roots have raised the sidewalks within American with Disabilities Act “transition areas”, as determined by the Department of Disability. Where paths of travel issues exist in conjunction with access ramp construction. In low and moderate income census tract areas.
