Sidewalk Removal & Replacement

The City of Eau Claire's sidewalk repair and installation program consists of the removal and replacement of damaged or unsafe concrete sidewalks and anything damaging to the sidewalks such as trees or tree roots.

This program also includes the installation of sidewalks to close out any gaps to improve the safety of pedestrian walkways. This is in addition to the repair of damaged or unsafe sidewalks.

Wisconsin Statutes 66.0907 is used for the repair and construction of sidewalks.

When will the Sidewalk be Fixed?

Upon receipt of a concern, Engineering staff will conduct an inspection of the reported sidewalk. The extent of the repairs will be determined following the completion of the inspection.
