City of TD Taking Apps for the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Cost-Share Program
The Dalles Ore. March 14, 2024 — The City of the Dalles is still taking applications for the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Cost-Share Program. Damaged sidewalks can be challenging for parents pushing strollers, children walking to school, pet owners walking their dogs, and people using wheelchairs, walkers, or canes.
The purpose of the program is to help property owners rehabilitate deteriorated sidewalks that are their responsibility. This voluntary program is intended to improve safe passage and livability in The Dalles.
The City will consider applications for the rehabilitation or replacement of existing sidewalks as well as new sidewalks as part of a commercial redevelopment project. New sidewalks required for an approved building permit on a new or undeveloped lot are not eligible. Applicants for this program must be the property owner or authorized developer.
Eligible projects must be completed by June 30, 2024. Applications will be funded on a first come, first eligible basis until funds run out. Funds are currently still available for all classes of eligible projects.
The amount the City will cost-share is variable based on the type of property:
Residential Property: 60% City-40% Property Owner
Residential Property (low income): 80% City-20% Property Owner
Commercial Property: 50% City-50% Property Owner
Commercial Redevelopment: 50% City-50% Developer
Additional conditions may apply.
