Snapshot: Sidewalk Replacement Begins on Clifton Boulevard

Workers from FP Allega Construction have been out on both side of Clifton Boulevard working on a $400,000 project to replace miles of sidewalks.

The project — extending from W. 117th Street to West Clifton Boulevard — began last week and is expected to wrap up around Halloween.

that the most of the slabs of sidewalks on the busy pedestrian thoroughfare are “tripping hazards” and must be replaced.

White dots on the sidewalks mark the spots that are set to get new cement.

Property owners on Clifton Boulevard are required to shoulder half of the total cost of the project. Each slab has been priced out for the residents: $7 per square foot for a 4-inch slab and $8 for a 6-inch slab.
