What is the average cost of sidewalk repairs to each property owner in the current sidewalk program?

Cost will vary depending on the condition of the sidewalk. If accepted into the program, costs will be split evenly (50/50) between the property owner and the city. Property owners can expect city coverage up to $2,000 for sidewalk repair and 100% of the cost for curb and gutter repair and replacement (up to $4,000).
