Description

The public sidewalk on the east side of the 600 block of Jewell Avenue is in a state of severe disrepair. The sidewalk has many significantly uneven sections, large cracks, and tall weeds and grass growing aggressively through the sections. Entire stretches of the sidewalk are now more cracks and weeds than they are intact concrete. For individuals in a wheelchair or who are unsteady on their feet, this sidewalk presents multiple mobility challenges. This is not a new issue (it's been rough for years) but the weeds and general deterioration have accelerated over the summer months. It is unacceptable for a sidewalk connected to a healthcare facility and owned by a corporate entity with sufficient funds to properly maintain their property to allow the sidewalk they are legally obligated to maintain to remain in this condition.
