The Union City Commission has allocated $10,000 for sidewalk repair under certain conditions.
The commission voted to allocate the funds at their meeting on Monday. Usually, sidewalk repair in Union is the responsibility of the adjoining property owner, but the allocation sets aside money for sidewalk repair under certain conditions.
“Priority of repairs will focus on safety, sidewalks with public infrastructure embedded and the annual city street repair program,” according to the text of the ordinance.
The city’s public works departments will determine how to spend the money based on resident complaints and regular sidewalk assessments. Sidewalks with obvious safety problems that could lead to injury and paths connected to essential public infrastructure will be given priority.
