FEBRUARY 5 DEADLINE FOR SIDEWALK REQUESTS

January 8, 2010 – Residents who would like Midland City Council to consider installing new sidewalks in a specific location where no sidewalks currently exist should submit a letter outlining their request to the City Manager’s Office by February 5.

Those citizens that previously submitted sidewalk requests with the public improvement deadline of November 1, 2009 need not resubmit. Those sidewalk requests will be added to the list for Council consideration.

Requests for maintenance of existing sidewalks can be submitted to the City of Midland Department of Public Services at any time, either by phone at 989-837-6900, or by completing a sidewalk repair Action Line request form, which can be found on the City’s website (www.midland-mi.org) under the Contact Us header.

City Council will consider the list of sidewalk requests at the Council meeting scheduled for Monday, March 8 at 7:00 p.m. City Council will then schedule a public hearing to determine the necessity of proposed sidewalks and approve the sidewalk construction list.

For further information, contact the City Manager’s Office at 989-837-3301.
