It's on the north side of the street -- property owner is 7 Glenwood Ave.

The entire sidewalk is not blocked.

Sadly placing an abundance of orange cones around the area has taken up nearly as much of the sidewalk as the fallen rocks did.

Christopher Webb (Director of Public Health) assigned this issue to Scott Fitzpatrick (Permits, Inspections & Planning)

Nothing's been done to clear the rocks along the base of the wall and the remove the cones, let alone repair the wall. The more rain we get, the worse the problem will become...

It's been 45 days and the property owner has done nothing to fix this. The rocks are still on the sidewalk along the wall and the cones are still there. Please enforce.

This an expensive undertaking. The Engineer is just now completing the plans for submittal and review for permitting. The weather has not been optimal for a repair of this type.

Thank you for the explanation. It would be great if these were added sooner so residents know what is going on.

Agree with Jamie. In the fall, this same area has an abundance of slippery leaves. Regardless of the expense, it is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure this gets fixed. This is a major approach to Oak Grove station.

How much longer until this is repaired? Now the weeds are overgrown and so even less of the sidewalk is usable. The homeowner fails to take care of weeds, and in the fall, leaves, every year and now the wall has been collapsed for 6 months with no repair.

Has there been any update on this issue? Can the rocks / debris / overgrowth be removed while waiting for the permitting process to complete?

There is barely enough cleared sidewalk for one person thanks to uncollected leaves and overgrown weeds from the summer, not to mention the fallen rocks that have been sitting there for close to a year! Please deal with this. Pedestrians deserve clear and safe sidewalks. We pay taxes too!

How long is this going to be like this? There are still large rocks and traffic cones taking up sidewalk space and it's been almost a year!

This residence also never clears sidewalk of ice, snow or leaves.

Yes, that is so true and frustrating! Thank for bringing that up.

Why is this being closed? Nothing has been done to fix the area or clear the sidewalk?

A year ago, this was explained: "This an expensive undertaking. The Engineer is just now completing the plans for submittal and review for permitting. The weather has not been optimal for a repair of this type."

Why has nothing been done still?

Thanks!
