Flossmoor is fortunate to have a comprehensive network of sidewalks. Sidewalks play a vital role in community life. As conduits for pedestrian movement and access, they enhance connectivity and promote walking. Throughout time, concrete sidewalks are susceptible to cracking and heaving. As the sidewalks become deteriorated, they create safety problems for pedestrians. In order to eliminate these hazardous sections, the Public Works Department has an annual Sidewalk Replacement Program. Each year, the Department evaluates and selects areas needing sidewalk repair.
