Posted 10/11/05 

The City of Moline is accepting applications from homeowners wishing to replace hazardous public sidewalks as part of it 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program.

The program allows property owners to pay just 50% of the cost to replace existing public sidewalks, which have deteriorated or are hazardous. A hazardous sidewalk may be one that is sinking, cracked or is clearly a safety hazard

To participate in the program, property owners must call the Engineering Division at 309-736-5938, prior to October 31, 2005. Job parameters and cost will be determined and then a bill will be sent to the property owner to cover 50% of the cost. When the City has received payment from the property owner, the work will be scheduled with the private contractor hired by the City.

This program is offered each year as a cost sharing measure for citizens and business owners, and continues as long as sufficient funds are available.
