Description

My sidewalk repair request in 2016 is still unresolved. This is a dangerous, a trip hazard and more difficult now due to my age. The photos don't capture the lumpy surface or severity or one-foot drop to street level, a where ground sunk down (from trees removed 1945). Only the water valve covers were lowered while the DPW did sidewalk next-door to me (not needed) suggesting mine is not fixable, saying: "it requires curbing and Salem doesn't replace granite curbing anymore, so not possible to level it or correct it." Hopefully he's wrong and it will be fixed bf winter -only a 6-7year wait. The surface is beating up my snow-thrower, painful using push-shovel, and the slippery sloped area is difficult to clear snow from, causes my snow-thrower to tip over, and requires frequent salting on rainy/icy days. Please don't ignore this request by calling it duplicated.
