Sidewalk Participation Program

The Sidewalk Participation Program will pay 80% of the cost to replace sidewalks, curbs, and the sidewalk portion of the driveway.  It does not pay for the driveway portion between the curb and sidewalk.  It also will not pay for the private sidewalk, known as a "courtesy walk", which connects the public sidewalk to the street. 

• Call (309)494-8800 to request an application.
• A Public Works Inspector will visit the location to determine eligibility.
• Once approved, the applicant will receive the application by mail.  The application will include the total amount of the property owner's share.
• The property owner must submit the application along with a money order or cashiers check in the amount listed on the application.
• An approved application will be mailed to the applicant.  The project will be placed in that year's Sidewalk Participation Program and the work will be performed by a contractor hired by the City.  The contractor is selected by the City based on a bidding process earlier in the year.  The work should be completed prior to the end of that construction season.

Applications will be accepted starting March 1 through October 15 or until the funds have been exhausted.
