NEWSLETTER Elk Grove Restaurant Week— Your Passport to Culinary Adventure January 15-24 Sidewalk Talk: Who Is Responsible and How to Maintain Them
Sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of adjacent property owners,* but the City’s Operations and Maintenance Division is available to help with what could be an intimidating responsibility. Staff is available to inform owners of ways to prevent sidewalk displacements and offer maintenance tips for keeping our sidewalks safe and attractive. Simply call the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Division, and a representative will come out to inspect your sidewalk and guide you through the best path for repairs, maintenance, or complete removal and replacement. Contact the Public Works O&M Division at (916) 687-3005 to schedule an inspection today. * According to Municipal Code, section 12.05, and California Streets and Highways Code 5610
