Village Manager Dan Faulkner told the Parks & Recreation Board the Village faces increased costs for sidewalk maintenance because of a recent three-year commitment by the Village Council. Faulkner recalled an earlier sidewalk proposal that recommended pairing repairs with public education and suggested exploring identification of funds for ongoing maintenance, possibly through a sidewalk mileage concept.
Board members discussed the fiscal implications and the need to educate the public about long-term sidewalk upkeep. No formal action was taken; this topic was discussed as part of the manager’s report and may be scheduled for future review.
