Sidewalks Hazards

Sidewalks can be found throughout the City of Helena in sporadic locations and in various neighborhoods, going back to the days when Helena first began.  Since there are some areas that have sidewalks and others that do not, the city implemented ordinances for maintaining existing sidewalks and making it mandatory that sidewalks be installed in new developments. 

Sidewalk hazards are plant obstructions (tree branches and hedges that grow over the sidewalk), construction materials (movable materials), and trip hazards (cracks, gaps, or elevation).
