PERIMETER OF ZONE TWO:

2016 SIDEWALK REPAIR AND GAP PROGRAM
Canton Township Engineering Services will be performing sidewalk inspections in zone two to obtain preliminary quantities
for replacement. Sidewalks that need replacement will be denoted with one of two (2) colors.
GREEN - Denotes the property owner's responsibility for the cost of replacement.
RED - Denotes Canton's responsibility for the cost of replacement.
Defective sidewalk located within a drive may require driveway approach slabs directly adjacent to be marked for repair
(owner's responsibility). Should an owner have a defective concrete drive approach, located between the sidewalk and curb,
and no defective sidewalk, upon request only (owner's responsibility) we can include with the sidewalk repair program.
In an effort to complete the inspections in a timely fashion, we ask that if there is a concern regarding responsibility that the
property owner wait to contact Engineering Services until the Fall of 2015 or Spring of 2016 to schedule an appointment to
review the markings. The paint dots are preliminary markings during the initial walk thru of the subdivision and along the pub-
lic right-of-way. There may be some revisions that occur upon measuring the quantities and determining the responsibilities.
Additional information will follow when you receive your notification letters in the Spring of 2016. The following represents
a tentative schedule:
NOTIFICATION LETTERS (Estimated Cost & Quantity) - Spring 2016
PUBLIC HEARING - Spring 2016
CONSTRUCTION - 60 Days After the Public Hearing
INVOICES - Fall/Winter 2016
