Reporting Uneven Sidewalks

I was called recently by a family concerned about the uneven sidewalks in their neighborhood. So I biked over and walked down that street. I found those sidewalks to be quite uneven and raised for over a block or so. I contacted the Public Works department. Mr. Kevin Kothe, Director of Public Works, indicated that sidewalks marked with a straight red line means the uneven panels will be cut flush by a vertical displacement contractor this construction year. Sidewalks marked with a wavy red line means the panel will be replaced by Public Works. 

You can report a problem sidewalk in your neighborhood on the My Bloomington web portal. 

In addition, the 50/50 Sidewalk Program provides property owners with an opportunity to replace defective sidewalks for half of the total cost, although many families find this option to be cost prohibitive.
