>if the sidewalk in front of your home >is in ''questionable'' shape can the >homeowner repair? Wil town object?
My understanding is they can't repair it , that the town technically owns the land the sidewalk is on and the land between the sidewalk and the street.

To do it yourself type

In most cases, the homeowner can make repairs themselves. As long as it is done properly, within the codes, if there are any. In your case, side walks come under the jurisdiction of the Highway Dept. 781 794-8955. Call them to ask questions, if needed, someone can come to the location and advise you. Im sure any upgrades and repairs done to town property, that the town does not have to pay for, are welcome.
