The program, launched last year, is intended to improve sidewalk safety and accessibility by providing financial assistance to eligible property owners for qualifying repair and maintenance projects. “As we enter year two, we’re committed to expanding that impact by helping even more property owners address significant sidewalk repairs and keep our community walkable for everyone.” Priority will be given to projects that improve public safety, preserve infrastructure and meet community standards. Applicants must complete the program's application and review process and meet eligibility requirements and program guidelines, Curtis says. Officials said the application timeline is intended to allow repairs to be planned and completed efficiently while supporting long-term sidewalk maintenance.
