Precision Safe Sidewalks, LLC will be removing trip and fall hazards on sidewalks, aprons, and curbs throughout the cluster starting April 28, 2026 and it will take approximately 2-3 days. During the work, sidewalks will be kept in service, no heavy equipment or traffic control will be required, and all debris and concrete and waste materials, will be removed. Note: Working dates may change due to weather conditions.
- Curbs: you will need to move your vehicle if it is parked next to a curb that requires cutting. Only a limited number of spaces will be impacted by curb cutting. Owners will be notified.
- Aprons on Maple Ridge with easements: you will need to move your car if it is parked over or on the apron.
- Pots and other articles: Please remove any pots or other items from the sidewalk near your home so they do not interfere with the work.
- Weather: Wet weather may delay operations
- While the concrete cutting may be very loud the work proceeds quickly and there will be very little dust.
REPAIR SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Three measurements will be taken of every hazard.
Height 1- the highest point in the hazard

2. Hazards will be removed from the full length of the panel
(full edge-to- edge repair); however repairs will affect
only the panel causing the hazard;
adjacent panels or immovable objects will be unaffected.
3. Sidewalks will be repaired at a slope of 1:8
4. A dust abatement system will be used during all repair operations.
5. The repaired area will be smooth and uniform with a coefficient
of friction exceeding OSHA requirements for public walkways.
6. Small sections (10′ to 15′) of sidewalk will be removed from service for
periods that range from 3 minutes to 45 minutes. Traffic will be
controlled around these areas while they are being repaired.
No assistance will be required from Hickory Cluster.
7. Some trip-and-fall hazards cannot be repaired using their process.
There are approximately 600 square feet of sidewalk that
will require demolition and replacement, which they do not provide,
and will have to be done separately.
