I have been asking for over 15 years for help from the City to address the sidewalk damage due to a liquid ambar tree that has been lifting the sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter. The City patched with asphalt about 8 years ago, but new tripping hazards emerge every year. I actually replaced a portion of the sidewalk but even than is lifting again. It's also destroying my sewer lateral, which I plan to replace as soon as the tree is removed! Please remove this tree and then repair the sidwalk curb and gutter.
also asked...
Q. Is the curb and/or gutter made of concrete or asphalt? A. Concrete
Q. Is there any metal sticking out of the curb? A. Don't Know / No Answer
Q. Are there tree roots causing the damage? A. YES
Q. ***PLEASE CHECK*** the LOCATION of your request, so we send the crew to the correct place. For mobile users, sometimes the GPS location is incorrect. *ALSO* To avoid delays, provide a detailed description of the issue. *PHOTOS* are helpful. A. OK
The PWD own rules require the all sidewalk repairs to done with concrete not asphalt. It seems the City would rather pay for injuries and accident though the City attorneys office before even trying to fix all these backlogged infrastructure issues. Write the majors office and your city council person demand answers.

I live in this neighborhood and this is a fine tree. There are way worst dsmaged sidewalks in some area of Maxwell park. There is no recent check for a sewer by this address, so the information can be false just city will come and remove the tree. Trees are actually what makes Maxwell park a pretty neighborhood.
The city just removed the tree (after another 1000 lb limb fell next to my husband getting out of his car!) OK, City tree service truck drove over our sidewalk it crumbled! This is not normal, wear and tear, will you please replace broken sidewalk caused by the City tree removal?
