Streets and Sidewalks

Many folks I talk to have concerns about the condition of their street and/or sidewalk. I want to provide some resources to help. Here is a link to the form to to have your street considered as a part of the Newburyport Streets and Sidewalks Improvement Plan. The Department of Public Services and additional City staff will consider your request and respond during a public hearing. 

After you submit the form, please feel free to reach out and let me know so I can track the progress and alert other residents as appropriate when public meetings are coming up. Here is a look at which streets in Ward 4 are currently slated for repair over the next several years. 

Here is the page for folks interested in the Sidewalk Partnership Replacement Program. This is paid for by homeowners with some assistance from DPS.  

The DSP Facebook Page is another good resource to get updates on projects, service disruptions, or other alerts. For any general inquiries please see contact information below.
