Public Sidewalk Share Repair Program

To Residents located in Palos Township          RE: Public Sidewalk Repair

As many of you are aware, the public sidewalks in the Township have sunk over the years due to natural settling or from sewer and waterlines underneath them. As your Highway Commissioner, I am pleased to announce that after an intensive search, we have decided upon a process called “mud-jacking” which is the most cost effective approach to repairing and/or eliminating trip hazards.  Many residents have inquired about a “share plan” with the Township Road District. In an effort to repair the sidewalks in a cost effective manner as well as to assist our residents in avoiding future issues in the event that there is an accident on the sinking and deteriorating sidewalks we have entered into an agreement with Ken-Rich Concrete Raising and “mud-jacking” up to 3-4 squares in order to raise, adjust and stabilize the area and may be a shared 50/50 expense with the Road District.  The actual cost would depend upon the response we receive from interested homeowners regarding this project. Estimated cost per home-owner address, before the cost sharing, would be approximately $90. per square.  Please use the form below for consideration in this process.  We need resident involvement to proceed, enhance the look of our sidewalks and make them safe for all.
