We will take a look at it. The water department is coming up with a solution for the water valves. Thank You

Thanks very much. Mainly concerned about someone getting hurt on the uneven concrete / valves, so it might make sense in the interim to put some cones or other safety warnings on that corner.

Can we get an update on this issue? It will make plowing sidewalks a challenge if it lingers into winter.

Sidewalk and water valve have been repaired, hopefully this is a long term solution. We will check it in the spring to see of the cold weather moves it again. Thank You

Thank you and much appreciated, but what has yet to be fixed are the other sidewalk repairs for our driveway that were included in the original request. The unevenness problems are posing serious risks not just for snowplows and vehicles, but also pedestrians. And there's no real way a paving service can address on the driveway portions without first fixing the sidewalk. Any way to get that addressed?

Good afternoon: Could you please check again, specifically the sidewalk slab in between the two sections of our driveway? We can't repave this until the sidewalk slab is fixed. This is creating a marketability issue for us. And it's grown worse each year. It would also be good to inspect the work done last year -- some unevenness but certainly a bit better than it was.

Good morning: hope someone can respond regarding my requests from both 04/24/2022 and 11/22/201, specifically where the driveway and the sidewalk meet. The problem appears to have worsened over the winter: thanks.

Good day -- very much hoping we can get a response on my requests from 04/24/2021, 11/22/2021, 04/24/2022, and 05/24/2022 regarding the sidewalk and driveway. Feel free to contact me directly, but this matter remains open.

Here's another pic. More where that came from but you get the idea.

Any updates here? Thank you. Sidewalk appears to be getting worse all the time.

Agree on this. Would really appreciate it if this could be fixed as it impacts the safety of walkability in our neighborhood, especially for the elderly and children, which we have many of both. It will only get worse during the winter months.

Good morning: would really like to understand what's needed to get a response on this. It has been opened now for 541 days, with multiple comments. I refuse to close this issue in the interim: thanks.

Day 631 -- Happy New Year! Any chance we can get a response on the timing for this repair before the second anniversary of the post at the end of April? Understand that there are many priorities in the Town but the sidewalk on Lang is growing worse. Thanks.

Hoping we'll get some resolution this Spring.

Good morning -- hoping for some resolution -- driveway situation is getting worse.

With 811 days now passed, and with the Town having many other priorities based on the flooding and Essex Junction separation, my question is this: can I get authorization / consent from DPW to have a private company shave the sidewalk so that it no longer poses a risk to pedestrians and vehicles? Please advise.

Apologies for the delayed response. Having looked at this recently and numerous other sidewalks, there are other areas in Town that are much worse. A lot of our sidewalk funds have been going to making sidewalks ADA compliant with ramps and detectable warning plates at intersections. Our intent has been focusing on the sidewalks that are being plowed per the schools requests that more routes within a certain radius of the schools be taken care of. The Town would sign off on a form to give consent to work in the right of way and repair the sidewalk at the homeowners expense as we have done for multiple other homeowners. The consent forms can be downloaded at https://www.essexvt.org/DocumentCenter/View/179/Application-for-Curb-Cut-Approval-PDF, then returned to our PW office at 5 Center Road for approval. Thank You

Thanks very much -- I will look into that option and get back to you with completed consent forms -- thanks.
