  Thank you for your request (#24-04-0158) to help ensure Alameda’s sidewalks are as safe as possible. Per Alameda’s municipal code and state law, property owners are responsible for the sidewalk adjacent to their property. As a courtesy, the City makes sidewalk repairs caused by City-maintained street trees. We will inspect this reported issue to determine if caused by a City-maintained street tree. If the repair is not caused by a City-maintained tree, the owner will be sent a notice to repair the sidewalk. If the repair is caused by a City-maintained street tree, maintenance staff may install a temporary make-safe repair, such as an asphalt fillet or cutting the uplifted concrete. A permanent repair is when new concrete is poured to fix the sidewalk. Each year, funds for permanent replacements are focused in one of five sidewalk zones. Given City Council's recent investments in sidewalks, the backlog of repairs has been significantly reduced; however, sidewalks continue to age and tree roots continue to grow and cause conflicts. Thank you in advance for your help (and patience) in maintaining Alameda’s sidewalks.
