The City's sidewalk maintenance requirements are specified in <br />the Sidewalk Repair Program, Title 8 of the San Leandro Administrative Code, which provides <br />for the repair of damaged sidewalks. When the City is informed about damaged sidewalks in <br />the public right-of-way, staff examines the area to determine whether repairs or replacement <br />will be required. Minor sidewalk defects are repaired by grinding or patching at no charge to <br />the adjacent property owners. Larger defects that require removal and replacement of either <br />the 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 />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 12/1/2015 <br />
