First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".
In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.
We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.

'Right-of-way' shall mean the accepted area for public use as defined by the state's statutes, and as accepted by
the city's board of aldermen. The right-of-way is influenced by the following four (4) city departments:
"Department of public works is responsible for its overall maintenance and use;(2)City engineer is responsible
for infrastructure improvements, engineering standards and the design of major repairs;(3)Department of
traffic and parking is responsible for the safe movement of traffic including people, vehicles and trucks;
and(4)Department of parks, recreation and trees is responsible for trees and tree pits within the right-of-way."

"After due notice is given to an abutting property owner to repair a structurally defective sidewalk, the director
of the department of public works is authorized to cause such repairs to be made if such owner fails to do so
within thirty (30) days after such notice has been given. Such repairs are to be those that he/she believes are
necessary to insure reasonable and safe use by the public, including the laying of curbs, sidewalks and gutters.
The cost of the laying of any such sidewalk and the making of such repairs shall become a lien upon such
property collectible as in the case of sewers and permanent street pavements."
