Hi - this is follow-up to ureport #186407. It is the sidewalk on the west side of College Ave just south of 14th street, near the train bridge. First off, thanks for your prompt attention! Unfortunately, the sidewalk is still not its full width. The historical sidewalk is about 8ft wide, and I believe pedestrians should enjoy the full width that was provided decades ago. I drew a red line on the photo to show where the edge of the sidewalk is. Everything to the right of that red line is vegetation and dirt that is encroaching on the sidewalk. What is to be done? I have done this work myself at the 11th&Fairview train bridge. I can do between 25 and 50 linear feet of this kind of work per hour with a shovel. This would generate nearly a yard of waste dirt which will need to go somewhere. An ideal solution would also stabilize the hillside but please don't let the perfect get in the way of the good. Please forward this to Director Wason as that sort of investment will require some leadership. I have watched work crews use line trimmers to move dirt and sand, which seems like a failure to provide the tools for the actual task they face. If pedestrians aren't worthy of this sort of consideration from the city, please let me know. Thanks! - Greg 812-391-3535
