Description
Lack of sidewalk on one side, dangerously damaged sidewalk on the other. Overgrowth makes it hard to use the sidewalk and bike lane. Cars constantly speed in this area making it even more dangerous. We need proven solutions such as undamaged sidewalks on both sides, sidewalks and bike lanes clear of trash and overgrowth and provided with hard protection, raised intersections, and a red light traffic/speed cameras at this intersection.

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.
