Lincoln places primary sidewalk repair responsibility on adjacent property owners under LMC Chapter 14.80 (Sidewalk Construction) and Nebraska state law (Neb. Rev. Stat. 15-734). Property owners must keep sidewalks in safe and sound condition, free from defects, and clear of snow, ice, and obstructions. Snow and ice must be removed by 9:00 a.m. the day following a storm under LMC 14.80.110, with the entire width of the walk and any adjoining wheelchair ramps or curb cuts cleared. If a property owner fails to remove snow after notice, the city may hire a contractor and charge the cost to the owner. The city also runs a sidewalk repair program for replacing deteriorated panels. Contact Lincoln Action Center at (402) 441-7511 for enforcement and current rules.
