The sidewalk on 2nd St between Arbutus and Eastside has large sections of hardened paving material that is a tripping hazard and an eyesore. It appears to be from a road repair there (perhaps where the water main broke) and may have been thrown up on the sidewalk with snow removal.

The crosswalk stripes on the west side of Rogers in the new crosswalk between First and Second streets are gone, perhaps scraped off by a snow plow. Only half the street looks like a crosswalk.

On April 6th I reported eight sidewalk problems along the north side of Heather Dr. between Grasstree Ct. and Laurel Ct. I included photos and also mentioned these could be a safety hazard, especially for many of our older residents.
The following day I received a call back which was much appreciated. Although some work has been done (see last paragraph), nothing at all was done to the most uneven slab. It is directly across from 700 Heather on the NORTH side of the street near a mailbox cluster. See 701_E_Heather_Dr.jpg. There is a full 2" difference in height.
I am reporting this particular one again, because a resident tripped on it April 27th and received bruises and abrasions to her face and hands. Her name is Barbara Wachholz, and she lives at 3708 Grasstree Ct. A neighbor was concerned enough to photograph her face. Fortunately, no bones were broken.
I notice some of these raised/uneven slabs were recently beveled or chipped off which could probably help. But I don't believe this was done thoroughly enough to help very much. For example the other end of the slab adjacent to the one I mentioned above wasn't chipped off all the way across.
Please advise.
Thank you, Marvin Allen, 3907 S. Laurel Ct.

We are having an annual sidewalk sale on July 11th and wanted to get approval to have a food truck parked outside of our store. Just wondering who I would contact to get approval or fill out a request.
Thanks,

The wonderful new sidewalk so many of us use (1300 block of East Maxwell) was damaged by a cement truck working at the newly renovated home driveway, second house from Highland on the north side. On either side of the driveway, severe cracks will buckle over next few years with freeze-thaw and will be dangerous to the many of us who now use the sidewalk. Please see that the contractor repairs the damage done.

In front of 1006 E 1st, there is a hole between the sidewalk and tree plot that I'm concerned may be quite large and have the potential to compromise the integrity of the sidewalk. It's not visible from the road - just when you're standing next to the tree in the tree plot there. It may not be a problem, but it might be a good idea to have someone take a look.
