Project Description:

Beginning on April 18^th, the City of Calabasas will replace sidewalk panels targeting over 140 locations within the western portion of the City that are either heavily cracked, uplifted and/or misaligned. This project focuses on repairing damaged sidewalks that could potentially create a trip hazard for pedestrians and for those who rely on wheelchairs and other mobility assistance.

The continual drought and heatwave have aggravated the problem with tree roots growing closer to the surface. Evidently, the irregular growth of the curbside tree roots not only damage the sidewalk, but also shortens the trees’ life span. In addition, several of the trees were discovered to have a fungal disease that is spreading along Malibu Hills Road. In order to properly repair the sidewalk panels, the project will include tree and stump removal. New native drought tree will be planted in the fall.

The approximate work schedule is as follows:

 Any changes or updates to the current schedule will be posted on the website.
