Proposed Ordinance Shifting Responsibility
for Sidewalk Repair to Property Owners
Ordinance would repeal this language in the
municipal code since 1973:
"Preventive measures and repairs or reconstruction to curbs, driveways
or sidewalks required as the result of tree root growth shall be
repaired by the Board [of Public Works] at no cost to the adjoining
property owner."
