Sidewalk Replacement Program Began This WeekCrews contracted by the City of Wheaton began replacing sidewalk squares in need of replacement. This year’s program will mainly focus on replacing squares east of Main Street, north of Roosevelt Road, and south of Union Avenue, but there are areas throughout the City where crews will be completing spot repairs. The City uses specific criteria to identify the condition of sidewalk squares and selects squares for replacement on a cyclical basis, completing as many replacements as the City’s budgeted funding will allow. The 2023 Sidewalk Replacement Program list is full, and any new sidewalk repair requests received from the public will be reviewed for replacement eligibility in 2024. You can see a map of the work areas on the City’s website.
