Our Sidewalk Installation and Repair programs (Pedestrian Transportation programs) provide for: 

• A 50/50 cost share with residents whose public sidewalk(s) have been determined hazardous and require replacement.  
• Repair and replacement of sidewalks adjacent to city property. 
• Installation of new sidewalks where none exist.

Sidewalk locations selected for new installation are determined based on assessment of the location(s), citizen and elected official requests.

Call us at 563.326.7923 during business or send us a request electronically, to:

• Report a hazardous sidewalk in need of repair, or
• Inquire about installation of a new sidewalk where none exists, or
• To find out if a sidewalk is eligible for repair/replacement under the 50/50 program

Construction and zoning ordinances are in place to ensure the city’s transportation network grows with new development. The regulations:

• Require the installation of sidewalks and ADA curb ramps with all new construction where pedestrian connections do not exist*.
• Require the installation of sidewalks and ADA curb ramps in new subdivisions to ensure pedestrian access.

*While installation of sidewalks is required, on occasion developers do seek waiver of this requirement.  Waiving the sidewalk requirement is a City Council decision. 

Sidewalks installation and repair requires: 

• Submission of a Permit Application
• Submission of a Contractor's Bond and Proof of Insurance

Work can not begin until all necessary documents are filed and permit application is approved.

Construction must meet the requirements of City of Davenport Standard Engineering Specifications.

Homeowner’s may replace up to two (2) sidewalk slabs on their own with the required permit, Homeowner’s Bond, and inspection.
