Streets & Sidewalks

Street/Sidewalk Maintenance & Repairs

The Town has approximately ten miles of streets and twenty miles of sidewalks. The Town performs street and sidewalk repairs each year, usually in the fall and spring. If you would like to request street or sidewalk repairs, or to report a tripping hazard, please complete a request.

New Sidewalk Construction

Under the provisions of the Town Charter, the Town may construct sidewalks on Town property along any public way or part thereof. The Town's Sidewalk Policy details the decision process to be followed by the Town in considering requests for the construction of new sidewalks.

Overgrown Vegetation

Town building regulations require that vegetation installed by Town residents on public and private property be maintained so as not to interfere with pedestrian or vehicular access and/or visibility necessary for public safety.

In order to enforce these regulations equitably, the Town has adopted the following clearance standards for sidewalks and streets.

-- All sidewalks must meet ADA standards for accessible pathways (at least 36 inches of clear unobstructed passage for a height of 80 inches).

-- All streets must have a minimum vertical clearance of 14 feet from curb edge to curb edge.

In addition, the Town may require pruning or removal of private vegetation on public or private property to eliminate obstructions to pedestrian or motorist visibility.

More information is available here.

To report an overgrown vegetation violation, please contact the Town Office at townoffice@townofchevychase.org.
