Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am at your home right now to inspect the sidewalks and the workmanship and structure are perfect. There was no granite curb put in to allow you to make the turn coming in from West Street easier.
Thank you

Dear Bob,
Thanks for the quick response! Someone helped me to patch the uneven concrete sidewalk and driveway between the connection line yesterday. It was not perfect to say the least.
Could the city put back the curb stone for our driveway? We still do not understand why the old edge curb stone was removed - see this new photo attached. You can see the old stone was there before we were born.
The other stone is now cracked with sharp edges from the contractor - see last phone. It can certainly make us to get a flat tire much easier; people can trip & fall, etc. Not sure about the workmanship manner but this job has created more hazards than anything else.
