The City of the Dalles is again offering its 50/50 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program to help property owners rehabilitate deteriorated sidewalks.  The City will pay for half of the costs and the property owner will pay for half of the costs of an approved project.  City code states it’s the responsibility of the property owners to maintain public sidewalks adjacent to their properties.  The 50/50 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program will help provide some financial assistance to property owners to meet that responsibility.  The City will consider applications for the rehabilitation or replacement of existing sidewalks.  Projects for construction of new sidewalks are not eligible.  Applicants for this program must be the property owner.  Cost sharing is only available for sidewalks located within the city limit of The Dalles.  The City has budgeted $50,000 for the cost sharing program, which will first focus on applications for sidewalks located in residential areas.  For application information, go to thedalles.org.
