Sidewalk Program

Please visit our interactive map to view updated information on the 2021 Sidewalk Repair Program. 

Sidewalk Inspections Golf CartThe City of Westlake began its 2021 Sidewalk Program in the southeast quadrant of the City, covering neighborhoods south of Hilliard Blvd. and east of Dover Center Road. If you live in this area, you may see the Engineering Department’s “Sidewalk Inspections” golf cart in your neighborhood during the weeks ahead.


The goal of this program is to identify and address areas of sidewalk in need of repair or replacement for the sake of the general health of welfare of the community. The City’s Sidewalk Inspection Program was enacted in 2001 by Codified Ord. 905.08, which contains more details. 

Specifications For Sidewalk, Owner Repairs

Cracked or Chipped Sidewalks: Sidewalks that are still level, may be repaired with epoxy filler which can be purchased at any local home improvement store. Epoxy filler should be grey in color to match your sidewalks. For larger chips you may also use a concrete patch compound.

Leveling of Sidewalks: Sidewalks that have been marked for repair/removal that are still in good condition may be leveled. Owners can choose to hire a  registered contractor to preform this work. A permit is not needed for leveling of walks. If you have hired a registered contractor and the walks will not be leveled within your 30 day time frame please reach out the Engineering Dept.'s sidewalk crew by  phone or  email. 


Remove and Replacement: Owners may complete this work themselves or hire a registered contractor to complete the removal and replacement of sidewalks. A permit is required for this work and can be applied for online. Homeowner's should only pull permit for this work if they are completing the work themselves. If you have hired a contractor they should pull the permit with the Engineering Department.
