The DDA is working with property owners and the City excited to improve walkability, safety, and ADA accessibility of the downtown district. The program is a significant step forward in enhancing the infrastructure of Cheyenne’s downtown area by addressing sidewalk repairs and improvements. 

Typically, property owners are responsible for the entire cost of sidewalk repairs, but under the Sidewalk Improvement Program, the DDA will cover 50% of the repair costs, while property owners will be responsible for the remaining 50%. The City Engineer’s Office will partner with the DDA to secure contractors and coordinate repairs/improvements. This cooperative effort reflects the ongoing commitment of the DDA and the City to invest in the downtown area and support local businesses. Sidewalks must be deemed a hazard by the City Engineer's Office to be eligible.

For more information on the Sidewalk Improvement Program or to inquire about participating, contact the DDA office at 307-433-9730.

The DDA has put together an informational guide to help you understand the sidewalk snow removal process in Downtown Cheyenne. This guide outlines the responsibilities of property owners, the snow removal procedures, key details about the Clean and Safe program, and other related information. Keeping sidewalks clear is essential for safety and accessibility during the winter months, and we want to make sure everyone knows how the system works.
