Sidewalk Replacement
Every year the Village of Mount Prospect endeavors to properly maintain its
infrastructure. One of the more noticeable maintenance programs involves the
public sidewalk and the Village’s Shared Cost Sidewalk Program.
Shared Cost Sidewalk Program
The Shared Cost Program has proven to be a successful partnership between the
Village and the property owners. Each year, between January and April,
applications are accepted by the Engineering Staff from property owners,
including businesses, interested in replacing sections of the public sidewalk
adjacent to their property. The deadline for accepting applications this year is
May 1, 2008.
The Village selects a contractor in May through a competitive bidding process
and the sidewalk replacement work continues across the Village throughout the
summer. This year the resident’s share of the cost is $48.00 for a typical
sidewalk square. This represents half of the anticipated bid cost of a sidewalk
square. The Village will pay the remaining amount. This cost includes removing
the existing square, replacing it with new concrete, and backfilling along the
edges with topsoil.
Applications are available by clicking on the link below or at the Public Works
Department located at 1700 W. Central Road.

If you have any questions concerning the sidewalk program, please contact the
Public Works Department at 847-870-5640 and ask to speak with Project Engineer
Donna Brown.
