A section of sidewalk was removed last fall and was never replaced.
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.

After traffic calming device was installed at the corner of 3rd and Rogers, sidewalk had to be realigned. Realigning meant tree had to be dug up and the lawn in this area was never fixed. See letter
Citizen is manager of Jiffy Treet. Says sidewalk in front of business is very bad and several older people have almost tripped. Did not realize property owner is responsible....he rents from Claire Young, 812-597-5711. JA told him we'd have Street check it out (Tom Goldman).

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.
Ms. Black stated that she had heard the Weddle Bro's were only going to place sod on one side of the sidewalk. She was very concerned with this.
sidewalk torn up in the 300 block, in front of Taco Bell (think by gas company) and was never repaired. Has been out for awhile and is a hazard to pedestrians (Carol I also think they did not repair the sidewalk next to Alice's house on Morton and 10th. You may want to address both of these walks with them)
