Resident called in to request that the sidewalks and driveway apron be evaluated for the replacement program. Please review/inspect accordingly.

The sidewalk in front of our house has a gap between 2 blocks that is larger than normal, and are uneven. One is about an inch higher, and I tripped and fell from it today while pushing my infant in a stroller. God forbid I was wearing her, she could have been killed had I fallen. This needs to be fixed, whether there’s a cement slope added to bridge the gap/height difference, or something. Very dangerous.

This sidewalk is in major need of repair. Anyone needing an accessible way to get by is forced to use the street because it's so bad.

The entire sidewalk in front of our house is a trip hazard!! I’ve contacted you several times in the last 10 years to have repaired. Most of the street is like this. We have young kids and an elderly woman living on the street who are going to get hurt. These were inspected years ago and we were told they were hazardous -imagine how they look now - unusable! Can you please send someone out to evaluate? It’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.

Resident came in to request that his sidewalk be inspected. Tree roots under the sidewalk area are up-heaving the flags. Please evaluate and note if this can be repaired.

I’ve reached out several times with regard to the condition of our sidewalk. They are disastrous and extremely dangerous. Your Engineer inspected last year and concurred. We can’t shovel or snow plow them and in fact when previously tried doing a stone flew and shattered our screen door. I’ve got 5 young grandchildren and one of these days I am terrified that they are going to get hurt. Is there a plan to repair/replace? I’ve only been asking for the last 11 years!!

The towns sidewalks are disinterested in from if my driveway. They have created a dangerous surface for walking and biking. Several people have fallen and children have fallen off bikes and scooters when they hit those patches .

Sidewalk has been cracking over time due to the winter storms and starting to be un leveled

Requesting replacement of 2 sidewalk sections in front of my house. As shown in the picture, the first section has caused several injuries to pedestrians and previous attempts at temporary repairs have failed creating a dangerous section of the sidewalk. The section section adjacent to the first is experiencing severe cracking which will soon devolve to the condition of the first section.

Since this was still not fixed my father has hurt his back. We had to spray paint it so people can see the hazard. It was acknowledged and accepted for repair 9 months ago? Hamden needs to do better. I will be contacting other resources since it is not be taken care of.

There are several stretches of sidewalks on both the Thornton and Greenway street sides of our property where the sidewalk is either falling apart or is buckled due to tree roots. This has created a trip hazard.
