Dear Friend,

The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program opens Monday, January 12th at 6:00am and closes at 10:00pm. The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program is an extremely popular voluntary program in which property owners share the cost of sidewalk repair with the City. Thousands of Chicagoans have been a part of this program, taking advantage of the low cost, exceptional value, and ease of participation.


The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program cost per square foot charged to property owners is well below what a private contractor would charge. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for a further discounted rate. Please note that if you applied for the program in previous years, you must apply again in 2026 if you wish to be considered for the 2026 program. 


Applications will only be accepted through the City's 311 system by calling 311, through the City's service request website , or by calling the 38th Ward Office at 773-283-3838.

Sincerely,
