February 1 Deadline for Sidewalk Requests

January 2, 2026 - Residents who would like Midland City Council to consider installing new sidewalks in a specific location where no sidewalks currently exist should submit a letter outlining their request to the Engineering Department by February 1.

Requests for new sidewalks can be submitted by completing a new sidewalk request form by clicking on the "Report a Concern" icon at www.cityofmidlandmi.gov or by mailing a letter to the City of Midland Engineering Department, 333 W. Ellsworth St., Midland, MI 48640. Requests must be postmarked on or before February 1, 2026. Citizens who previously submitted sidewalk requests with the public improvement deadline of November 1, 2025 need not resubmit. Those sidewalk requests will be added to the list for Council consideration.

Requests for maintenance of existing sidewalks can be submitted to the City of Midland Department of Public Works at any time, either by phone at 989-837-6900 or by completing a sidewalk repair request form by clicking on the "Report a Concern" icon at www.cityofmidlandmi.gov.

City Council will consider the list of sidewalk requests at the Council meeting scheduled for Monday, February 23, 2026 at 7 p.m. City Council will then schedule a public hearing to determine the necessity of proposed sidewalks and approve the sidewalk construction list.
