Have a sidewalk in need of repair in Elkhart? Let the city know.

The City of Elkhart has opened up applications to have their sidewalks repaired. All you need is to provide the equipment, and city crews do the rest.

“This program is an opportunity for residents and city government to work together to improve the quality of sidewalk infrastructure throughout the city,” Mayor Tim Neese said. “It is also an important part of our continued efforts to provide safe and accessible walkways for pedestrian traffic.”

If you wish to participate, make sure you remove sprinkler heads and shrubs that are within a foot of the sidewalk. After repairs are done, you’re responsible for maintenance of the area.

The deadline for requests is July 15.
