Sidewalk has lifted due to tree roots

Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.

Mr. Koontz called T&D and said that his wife was driving on the alleys at 420 E. Kirkwood (behind McDonalds's) and did a lot of damage to her car.
This is located at the Southeast corner of the parking lot. This is one of several trees needing attention. We would prefer this one to be removed. Also, the broken-off trunk was from a storm damaged tree 2 years ago. Can we get that removed, or at least cut flush to ground level? We are converting these mulch beds to rock beds.
This is the third day in a row that I’ve had to deal with the sound of cars driving over these metal plates. It’s extremely loud and I’m very tired because I can’t sleep at night with the sound of every single car that bangs over it! If there’s something that can be done about it please help. I’m very tired
I just took possession of a home I bought as sidewalk construction on E. Morningside was being completed. The home is at 4021 E. Morningside. It is my understanding the City redid part of the driveway after having to destroy it for sidewalk work. Unfortunately it appears a corner of the drive (front right / SE) is already cracking/chipping/spalling (see photo). I'm requesting the City patch this up before it continues to flake (not huge now but would like addressed so as not to spread) as an area driven over frequently. Otherwise looks fantastic and very happy with the new sidewalk and drive portion. Great neighborhood addition.
Steve does not understand why contruction projects around campus and the kirkwood area begin exactly when the students return to school. Why don't they start in the summer when there is much less traffic?
Says promised traffic calming devices have not been installed. Were told they'd go in right away (6th St). Says City Landscaper told him no one discussed watering of greenery with him. Says City departments aren't coordinating and work isn't getting done.
Sidewalk on Maple from 5th to 6th was recently replaced. While it needed to be replaced, this was a historic sidewalk as are many on the west side. Policy should be developed to preserve historic sidewalks in original condition when repairing/replacing.
