Tinley Park, IL Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Sidewalk Repair (2026)

034 puts every public sidewalk in Tinley Park under one repair standard: all public streets, alleys, and sidewalk pavements must be kept in good repair, and whether the actual work is performed by the village or by the abutting property owner, that repair work is carried out under the supervision of the Director of Public Works. The section establishes that an abutting owner can be the one who performs sidewalk repair, with Public Works reviewing the job rather than leaving it to informal patchwork. 030 makes it unlawful to construct or repair any pavement on a public street, sidewalk, or alley without first securing a permit from the Director of Public Works, and applications must state the location, extent, and the contractor who will perform the work.

031 to protect the village against damage from the work. 033 separately bars knowingly injuring it, or driving or walking on it while it is guarded by a warning sign or barricade. Read together, these sections mean a Tinley Park property owner who wants to fix a cracked or heaved sidewalk slab in front of the house cannot simply hire a concrete crew and pour new pavement; the owner has to get the Public Works permit first and let the Director's office supervise the job, whether village crews or the owner's own contractor does the physical work.
