The City’s sidewalk maintenance requirements are specified <br />in the Sidewalk Repair Program, Title 8 of the San Leandro Administrative Code, which <br />provides for the repair of damaged sidewalks. When the City is informed about damaged <br />public sidewalks, staff examines the area to determine whether repairs or replacement will be <br />required. Minor sidewalk defects are repaired by grinding or patching at no charge to the <br />adjacent property owners. Larger defects that require removal and replacement of either the <br />sidewalks or driveway approaches are also repaired under the Program, but the property <br />owners adjacent to such defects must reimburse the City for the full costs unless a City street <br />tree is the cause. If a City street tree is the cause of the defects, then the costs are divided <br />evenly between property owners and the City. <br />In addition to the repair of sidewalks, this project will install sidewalk curb ramps to meet <br />current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the City’s ADA curb <br />ramp transition plan, several sidewalk curb ramps are installed or improved each year. These <br />ramps are installed adjacent to new street work and at citizen requested locations. Staff <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/12/2013
