Assistant City Manager ha assegnato questo problema a Public Works Municipal Service Manager

I will have the street sweeper over there on Monday. The sidewalks are property owner issues.

Thank you for your concern, this issue has been received by our department. We will look into this issue further and resolve it accordingly.

Thank you very much. Then if the sidewalk is the property owner responsibility, how about getting the school cited? If I were a parent, Id be mad. If I lived across from it, I'd be mad. It looks like crap. Homeowners are accountable, but they dont ask you for more tax money?? But thank you for the quick response!!! Im glad to see we are getting action again!

Have you spoken with the school district, and what was their response?

No I have not. I work during the school day. I guess I could go to a school meeting.

If only our city had some connection with the school district's director of maintenance. What would be really ideal is if he was a city resident, or even a former city employee. Then I'm sure somebody at city hall could easily get this taken care of.

Nick since you know Terry maybe he would respond to a phone call from you more quickly than from the city. Would a phone call from you carry any weight? Maybe the principal at Central could get an even quicker response? It is on her school property and her children and teachers are the ones using the sidewalk each day.

Wonder if they even have a maintenance department. I drive by poor Airport Rd school in Berkeley every morning and there is trash Everywhere around the school. I feel so bad for the kids that have to walk through that to get to school.

Kathy, Terry and I aren't drinking buddies or anything, I just know him from when he worked for the city. And honestly, I have no business being in the middle of this. But he was a diligent and meticulous public works director, and I feel certain that a call from the city would be well received. School will be out soon, and that would be a great time to fix this.

Last week on a walk I encountered the maintenance woman outside of Vogt school. I asked if the district could send someone to clean up the leaves and gum balls that covered the sidewalks around the school. I finished my errands an hour later and when I came back up the street she had cleaned off the front walk and was working on the side walks around the building. I sent an email to Terry to let him know how impressed I was with her quick response and the good job she did. He appreciated my email and said all he ever hears is complaints. So I assume Central also has a maintenance person and he/she should be called out on the winter leaves and debris on the corner of Clark and Wesley.

Good points, all. Guess I will call the school on my lunch break tomorrow and see if I can speak to the principal.

I did a walk on all of the sidewalks surrounding the perimeter of this school last week, and only found concrete missing around utility poles, and not uneven surfaces at joints. Leaves and gumballs are not code enforcement issues.

Pic 2 and pic 3 speak for.themselves.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are pleased to report back to you that this issue is now resolved.

Hey Nick...look at that...once again...

Close means close. Thank-you.
