Thank you for your request. Please contact your Alder to request a new sidewalk be placed
Per Sec. 27-102. - Notice, hearing on recommendations to repair or build new sidewalks
Where sidewalks do not exist, the board of aldermen, after a public hearing held by the director of the department of public works, shall approve such installation. Once funded, the city engineer shall design and install such walkway as approved. All recommendations from the department of public works to the board of aldermen for the laying of any new sidewalk in the city shall be accompanied by the name of the owner of the property adjoining such sidewalk, or his/her agent, and the street and number of such property. Whenever a hearing is to be held concerning the laying of new sidewalks as aforesaid, the city clerk shall cause an advertisement to be published in the daily papers of such hearing for at least two (2) days prior to the time fixed for the hearing. Additionally, the city clerk shall cause notice to be given to said property owners, their agents, or persons having charge of said property or estate. Such notice shall be left at the usual place of abode of such property owner or his/her agent. If any person so interested does not reside in the city at the time, or under any legal disability, or in case the owner of such property is unknown, such notice shall be given as ordered by a judge of the Superior Court in the Judicial District of New Haven.
