Description

Two sidewalk panels in front of my house were ripped up a while ago. Once for gas line work and a second time for water line work. The gas company fixed the panel they were responsible for. The city has not.

I've called the city many times for well over a year about fixing the panel they tore up for water line work. I've been nothing but polite and patient with the DPW folks over the phone. They have sent people many times, once to fill it with gravel and a couple other time to "look and verify it was water related"... two weeks ago they said they'd fill it and they left an orange cone on the gravel filled panel. Well, nothing got done so I called again this week. Today I saw they filled it with dirt.

Look at the shape of the dirt in the picture and tell me that wasn't a cement panel once. It was. Kids across the street used it as a school bus stop. In the winter I can shovel out a cement panel for kids to stand on.

Please DPW, do right by this. I'm not asking for the world. Just one panel of cement.

what's up with that? is that any way to treat a neighbor?
