The Borough of Wyomissing will once again offer its 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program to help improve the safety and condition of public sidewalks throughout the community.
This voluntary program is a cooperative effort between the Borough and homeowners. The Borough will contribute 50 percent of the repair cost, up to $1,000, for eligible sidewalk repairs completed by participating homeowners.
Homeowners interested in participating must submit an application. Funding is limited and projects are approved on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to sidewalks showing significant damage. Borough staff will inspect sidewalks to confirm eligibility before acceptance into the program.
Eligibility is currently limited to:
Single-family, owner-occupied properties
Sidewalks that are heaved, broken, or displaced
Damage caused by Borough-owned or Borough-planted trees
Once applications are reviewed, the Borough will bid the approved repairs as a single project to secure competitive pricing. The Borough will cover half the cost, up to $1,000. Any remaining balance is the homeowner’s responsibility. In cases of severe tree-related damage, alternative repair options may be recommended.
Driveways, curbs, and aprons are not included in this program.
