Please re-evaluate the sidewalks at this corner premise for the replacement program.

4/7/2021-I have reported a problem with the sidewalk in front of my home since Feb 2011. The sidewalk is raised due to tree roots that the town has since taken down (Oct 2013). The sidewalk has cracked more and when it rains there is a huge puddle and now it's completely crumbling to small rocks. Many older and handicapped people walk on this side of the street and I have seen many people trip. The town has marked out the sidewalk and driveway skirt numerous times, needs repaired asap.
Here is the last signoff from the Engineering Inspector 12/8/2017: "The Town currently repairs sidewalks based on the roads with the oldest complaints. Once we get to a street, we attempt to repair all sidewalk problems on the street. We are currently working on streets with complaints from 2007 and about to begin 2008 streets. Based on current funding and given your street is a 2007 street, we anticipate it to take within a year to get to the street. The town is currently winding down sidewalk work for the year due to impending cold temperatures and snow". I do not understand why it would take over 10 years for the Town to repair this issue. I would appreciate a timely response.

There was a storm in the end of summer a large tree came down on city property the tree roots cracked and raised the sidewalk in front of our house and the house next door. The city needs to repair sidewalk so no one gets hurt. It is also a city liability.

My baby has fallen many times during our walks up and down First street.

Please re-evaluate the sidewalks fronting this premise for the concrete replacement program.

Unsafe sidewalk

Damaged and raised slabs pose a definite trip hazard to occupants and guests and the many people who use this sidewalk. I reported this issue in 2011 when I purchased the property which is used as a rental and was told it was placed on the repair list. Its been 10 years now and id like an update and approximate date as to when it will be replaced. I feel it is a moderate liability to the town should someone trip and get injured.

Last year a crew from Public Works removed a tree next to 107 Westminster St, Hamden. Prior to the tree removal the tree root was pushing the sidewalk up. Resident is putting in a request to have just that little section of sidewalk repaired, evened out so no one trips and falls in the future.

Resident called in to request their sidewalks be inspected and evaluated for the Replacement Program.

Nothing has been done to the sidewalk since my last request. I walk my daughter who is constantly tripping over these cracks and dips.
