We are neighbors in Beverly Grove fixing the sidewalks tree roots have broken. A licensed crew replaces the panels, the owner picks the theme, and local kids design colored concrete art that sits flush, level and slip resistant.
Thousands of miles of damaged sidewalks across Los Angeles create daily hazards for seniors, people with mobility challenges, and families with strollers. The repair backlog is measured in years, not months.
A simple, community-driven process that turns broken sidewalk panels into lasting neighborhood treasures.
Residents photograph damaged sidewalk panels through our mobile app, automatically capturing location.
The neighborhood votes on which damaged panels matter most. The top-voted panel wins each month.
A licensed crew completes the approved repair. Youth and a teaching artist develop the visual concept; the final treatment follows written City, accessibility, insurance, and site requirements.
We document the before and after, celebrate the young artists, and move to the next panel.
Safer sidewalks, especially for seniors and people with limited mobility. A single repaired panel removes a tripping hazard that may have existed for years.
Hands-on public art experience, civic pride, and a visible contribution to their neighborhood. Kids gain skills in design, teamwork, and public collaboration.
Your customers walk these blocks. Every sponsor dollar fixes the walk to your door, so people can shop, eat and bank with you safely. Sponsors get a thank-you post, an unveiling invite and a window decal, and can nominate the sidewalk in front of their own business.
Four panels lifted by two parkway trees at S Laurel Ave and W 1st St in Beverly Grove, a few blocks off 3rd Street. The current estimate is $6,930. Contractor quotes are due November 6, and we will post the final number here.

Sponsors get a thank-you post, an unveiling invite and a window decal. Wondering about taxes? Here is the plain answer.
The damaged sidewalk is an original neighborhood photo. The colored concrete examples are real projects by others; concept renders, workshop, and inspiration images are illustrative until our first panels are complete.
Sidewalk Stories started with a dream of tile mosaics in LA's sidewalks. We are getting there one safe, approved step at a time.
Flush, slip resistant color set right into the new concrete, so the first sites are fast to approve and safe to walk and roll on.
Tile mosaics on private plazas, storefront walls, planters and tree wells with partners who own the space.
A tested, accessible mosaic panel approved by the City for public sidewalks, built on a track record of finished sites.
Every cracked panel here is a chance to make the city safer and more beautiful at the same time. We are starting in Fairfax / Mid-City West, but the model works anywhere neighbors care about their streets.
We live a few blocks off 3rd Street. Sponsor a panel on Laurel, and if you have a business nearby, nominate the sidewalk in front of your door to be next.
