Description

August 26, 2008, (10-years) through the Citizen's Request was the first time I reported our sidewalks on our block. In September 2016 the sidewalk on the 2600 block of E Clay was replaced. I was told then that there were no funds for our block but would be for 2017. In March 2017, I was told to replace our block would require the removal of many trees and be risky due to retaining walls but, in April this year, the sidewalk across the street was replaced without concern for trees or walls. Then immediately afterward, the 2700 and 2800 blocks of E Clay were replaced which had poor retaining walls. I was told that they were not doing ours because of the trees but the sidewalks across the street and around the corner were worked around and are the same size so, what is the difference? The trees have grown 10 years older and bigger with larger roots that have grown under the walls on our block but, there are businesses on the corners whose patrons use them and so do tourists and walking tours as well as handicapped people who trip over protruding and missing bricks and undulating bricks because of the roots.

I think 10 years is way too long to wait.
