About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Walden sidewalk opening bond guarantees

A sidewalk opening bond is a restoration guarantee to the Village. When you open or cut a public sidewalk or curb — for a utility line, driveway apron, or repair — the Village of Walden wants assurance that you will restore the walk to Village specification and not leave a trip hazard behind.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Walden (the obligee). If you fail to restore the opening properly, the Village can complete the repair and recover its cost against the bond.

The bond stays in place until the work is accepted. Once the Village signs off on your restoration, the obligation is satisfied — we keep it active until then.
