First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".

In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.

We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.

I will convert my heic files and upload them to a new issue later this week. There are at least ten concrete sidewalk tripping hazards along Townsend from the Park entrance down to Upson Terrace, on both sides. Whoever completed the bid work on the job neglected the major hazards and did a lot of unnecessary work instead - apparently to make it look like they did a lot of work. I've been here 22 years and I know every hazard. The contractor ground down joints that were off by fractions of an inch, some an eighth or less - absurd "work." I know because I watched the guy doing it - it was ridiculous. All the major hazards and broken slabs protruding are still there.

Will patch when weather permits. Forwarding to Engineering for full repair.
