Description
There are sidewalk joints several inches high, and here is a pic from last summer, because this has not been adressed yet. A contractor came and did nothing to the major tripping hazards. This HUGE tripping hazard is still there, as are many others. The bid was garbage, and the contractor only dealt with grinding concrete that was about 1/4 inch off level. They didn't even touch the big ones that are the danger. Please - adress this. An "executive assistant" closed this request without adressing it at all. Such incompetence at City Hall is shameful.

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.
