Important Announcement about the Sidewalk Replacement Program.
The Department of Public Works (PBW) has closed cost share applications and acceptance of payments until after March 1, 2024. Due to high demand and popularity of the program, PBW is re-assessing the program’s policy for improvements. To be added to the waitlist, please call (214) 948-4127. Sidewalk hazardous conditions are eligible for temporary asphalt repairs. Please call (214) 670-3111 to request temporary repairs. Any sidewalk replacements by the property owner or by a private contractor must have an issued permit from the City of Dallas Permit Center, 320 E. Jefferson Blvd. Room 118, (214) 948-4290.
