Council Approves 2026 Sidewalk Repair Program Covering 154 Properties; Estimated Cost $148,720
Summary
Council approved Resolution 26-14 to begin the 2026 sidewalk-repair program covering 154 properties; public works estimated $148,720 at about $20 per square foot and outlined a 60‑day owner-contractor window before the city’s contractor completes remaining work.
Beavercreek — The Beavercreek City Council approved Resolution 26-14 on Wednesday, authorizing the 2026 sidewalk repair program that includes approximately 154 properties and an estimated repair cost of $148,720.
Public Works explained the program structure: the city bundles curb, pavement and sidewalk work in concentrated neighborhoods to secure competitive pricing; staff estimated about $20 per square foot for repairs (a $1 increase from the last program). Property owners on the list will receive mailed notices and will have 60 days to hire their own contractor; if they do not, the city’s contractor will complete the work and assess the owner.
Public works staff said the 2026 program is much larger than 2025 (48 properties last year versus ~154 this year) and that the city will send explanatory flyers with the resolution to affected property owners. The bid opening for the project is scheduled for March 18, 2026; final costs will be updated after bids are received.
Council reaction: One councilmember reiterated philosophical opposition to the assessment program, citing concerns about government size and collections, but did not block approval. Staff said the finance department has already sent second notices to property owners from the 2025 program who have unpaid assessments and will follow up as required.
Next steps: Staff will mail notices to property owners, publish the final bid results after March 18, and return to council as needed to report completed assessments or collection actions.
