The Department of Public Works corrects sidewalk issues that pose hazards to the public. Grass in slabs, cracked slabs, or slabs with an offset of less than 1 inch are not considered hazards.
City ordnance (section 505.270) states that “every owner or occupant of any premises fronting or abutting on any sidewalk in the City shall keep the sidewalk in front of or abutting on such premises in good repair.” If the Department of Public Works were to correct these minor issues, the abutting property owner could be held financially responsible.
The City of St. Charles Long Range ADA Transition and Sidewalk Plan is another step toward establishing safe and convenient walking routes throughout the City to enhance the livability for residents and visitors. The primary focus has been to prioritize sidewalk repairs and installation by inventorying deficiencies in the City’s existing walkway network and identifying opportunities and constraints to close gaps in the extensive surface infrastructure.
