The Phillips downtown sidewalk project was completed in October 2025.
Cracking has taken place over the winter. The Department of Public Works marked the cracked areas with pink paint. The affected squares will be fixed under warranty by the company that installed the sidewalk. Work is expected to begin on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.
Some residents have asked if the bottoms of the light poles are going to be made to look better. My Price County tried to get this answer, but the question was misunderstood via email, so My Price County will ask again and publish information if we receive it.

The director of the Department of Public Works, Jim Heizler, answered some community questions regarding the sidewalks. He stated that the warranty has been extended for an additional year. He said that not all the squares that were painted in pink were going to be replaced. He said, "Some of the small areas that cracked are ground out and filled in with a self-leveling epoxy suitable for concrete repair and sealant."
Jim also stated that there are plans to repair the street light bases now that the sidewalk repairs are done. Those repairs would be made for cosmetic reasons. He assured, "These bases are over six feet long, buried into the ground, reinforced with a rebar frame. The anchor bolts that hold the poles are three feet long. They are safe."
