Sidewalk area by driveway very poor condition. Please evaluate.

I tripped on this uneven sidewalk, fell. and fractured my right hand on April 22nd, 2024.

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

Sidewalk cracked and uneven

Not exactly sidewalk...but close. Putnam Ave was recently resurfaced and the street is nice to drive so thanks for that but now there is about a five inch gap between my driveway and the street - does the town fix this or is it up to me - please let me know. And since you are reading this my sidewalk is also broken,,,,,thanks for your time,,,,Arthur Bargar

Unsafe sidewalk

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.

Due to drainage problems in the area, the sidewalk is spalling and needs repairs. Water running down the sidewalk is now damaging her sidewalk. Pebbles are coming up from spalling.
