Tinley Park shares sidewalk repair responsibility with property owners, often through a 50/50 cost-share program. The Village coordinates annual inspections and ranked replacement.
Sidewalks in Tinley Park are public infrastructure maintained through a cooperative program between the Village and adjacent property owners. The Village typically operates a 50/50 sidewalk replacement program in which owners share the cost of replacing damaged sidewalk panels adjacent to their property. Public Works inspects sidewalks, prioritizes replacement based on trip hazards, deterioration, and ADA accessibility, and notifies owners of upcoming replacement eligibility. Owners may request inclusion in the program or choose to fund full replacement privately using approved contractors meeting Village specifications. Tree-root damage may be addressed through root pruning or tree replacement coordinated with Village forestry. Significant tripping hazards must be addressed promptly to limit liability. Repairs must use Village-spec concrete thickness, reinforcement, and finish.
Failure to repair hazardous sidewalks ordered by Village: Village repair billed to owner plus administrative fees, potential civil liability for injuries.
