The City of Indianola wants to remind residents about the policy on dangerous or defective sidewalks. Any faulted/cracked, raised/sunken, spalling sidewalks can pose a danger or risk to those utilizing the sidewalk.

It is the responsibility of the abutting property owner to replace/repair/ reconstruct sidewalks adjacent to their property, and property owners can be held liable for injuries or other damages caused by defective sidewalks. Find more about city sidewalk code with this story on KNIAKRLS.com.
