Description
The pedestrian side walk is always covered with water all year around for years. It makes walking difficult and dangerous as one would need to walk on the road to avoid the wet areas. The water issue is not only on the paved sidewalk but also on the street road next to the curb.

Your concern was investigated by the Department of Public Works, which found ground water draining from a nearby property on/across/around the sidewalk and creating some small puddles at the time of inspection. Possible future residential repairs may be required to mitigate the drainage.
Your request has been closed at this time. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to investigate and to let me know the root cause of the flooding issue. However, will the township PLEASE oversee the repairs that are so badly needed by the residents of the nearby property? This issue has been going on for YEARS. WIll the township PLEASE follow up with this issue until it is resolved so the sidewalk can really be used by the public?
Also, please take a look at the sidewalk that's a few feet further down (i.e. towards Dearborn farm direction) from the location I reported. It's also flooding all year around, which makes it unsafe for walkers or runners on the sidewalk.
Will the township PLEASE take action to ensure that pedestrians can use ALL sidewalk by requiring the nearby property owners to fix the groundwater drainage issue?
