how it works

  1. If you want to ask KWA for reimbursement, you must have the KWA Sidewalk Chair’s approval before contacting the City.

  2. Call 311 to request Sidewalk Cost Sharing Program and provide information to 311 operator.

  3. Agree to estimated cost share amount.

  4. Transportation and Capital Improvements (TCI) engineering staff completes field assessment and develops a detailed cost estimate within 10 days. (Note: The city will only replace cracked portions of the sidewalk and may not fulfill your entire request.)

  5. An invoice will be mailed to you; you have 15 days to accept or reject.

  6. If the City’s bid is accepted, you must complete a KWA sidewalk application and turn it in to KWA office.

  7. If you accept the City’s bid, the City requires payment before the project is added to their project schedule.

  8. All requests received will be completed within the City’s fiscal year, which ends September 30.

  9. Once the City has completed the project, you must notify the KWA and turn in a copy of the payment receipt. The KWA Sidewalk Chair will complete a site visit of the sidewalk, determine the amount of linear feet to calculate payment amount, and provide information to KWA staff to process a check.
