Ventura officials have started a new program to help residents pay for sidewalk repairs they want to be done ahead of the city s schedule.
The Safe Sidewalks Program reimburses half the repair costs up to $2,500 on sidewalks fronting a resident s property, city officials said in a news release Monday.
Some residents can receive a 75% match, up to $3,750, if they meet California Alternate Rates for Energy income qualifications. Our goal is to provide a pathway for residents to fast-track their sidewalk repairs to improve accessibility and safety for everyone,” said Phil Nelson, the city s public works director.
Residents must apply for the program by March 31, 2022. The city must approve the repair job and the contractor before the work begins. Work must be completed by June 30, 2022, and pass city inspection before receiving reimbursement.
Ventura offers new sidewalk repair reimbursement program for residents
VENTURA, Calif. - The City of Ventura will soon be implementing a new reimbursement program, called the Safe Sidewalks Program, to help repair sidewalks at a faster rate throughout the city.
This program is funded by Measure O and will pay for a portion of sidewalk repair costs when individual improvements are made by residents after submitting an application.
The Safe Sidewalks Program reimburses 50% of the costs, or up to $2,500 per resident property frontage. However, income-qualified residents may receive a match of 75% of repair costs, or up to $3,750 per property frontage.
