Sidewalk & ADA Information

Sidewalks                                     

The City offers an annual Sidewalk Reconstruction 50/50 Program to help residents share the cost of replacing public sidewalks located adjacent to and parallel with City streets. Each year—typically in the spring—the project is advertised for bid and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Residents who wish to participate may apply to have some or all of their qualifying public sidewalk reconstructed. The City evaluates sidewalks every five years and assigns a condition rating on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 indicating the poorest condition and 10 indicating excellent condition.

Please note that this cost-sharing program applies only to sidewalks that run parallel to City streets and are rated 6 or lower. The City does not participate in the cost of reconstructing sidewalks rated 7 or higher. Funding for replacement of sidewalks rated 6 or below varies each year and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

2026

The 2026 Sidewalk Replacement Project has been advertised for bid and awarded to DC Construction.

DC Construction will contact residents on the interest list to schedule a visit to discuss the project and provide an estimate. The estimate will show the total cost of construction. Through this program, you are responsible for 50% of the total cost.

If you decide to move forward, you must call 574-534-2201 to request an Agreement. You will need to return the signed Agreement along with your 50% payment by July 10, 2026.
