The City's Annual Sidewalk Shaving Project will begin on Monday July 27, 2026 within Zone 1 of the City. Sidewalk shaving involves “shaving down” vertical offsets up to two inches in order to eliminate tripping hazards. This low-cost method of sidewalk improvement is an effective way to make sidewalks more accessible to all with minimal interruption to public access.
The work is expected to last one week. No traffic impacts are expected. However, nearby residents may be temporarily impacted by noise while the work is conducted.
The City's sidewalks are divided into five Zones of similar size. The City conducts sidewalk shaving annually within one zone per year.
