What does the pre-construction inspection survey consist of?

Department of Public Works staff will inspect selected program applicants for:  Required sidewalk replacement  Required tree work (root shaving or tree removal)  Sidewalk/Curb-Gutter replacement required  Sidewalk shaving for displacement (for very slight displacements only) Once the survey is complete, you will be emailed a copy to share with the contractor.

Are driveways eligible for the Sidewalk Repair program?

No, driveways and driveway aprons are not eligible for City cost-share. If selected for the program, owners wishing to get driveway work done may have it done at the same time as any sidewalk work, but the owner will be responsible for the full cost of the repair and will be billed accordingly.
