The house directly across from 621 S. College St. has a pathway that leads to the sidewalk. On the sidewalk there are one or two slabs of stone that causes people to trip over them.
Citizen says City required Jim Ray to put sidewalk in front of his house, work is going on right now. Sidewalk installation has lowered water meter, now water runs into meter box when it rains, meter box needs to be raised.
The lawn needs cut. There are weeds and shrubs growning onto the sidewalk, making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk.
Several weeks ago, tree in tree plot lost several limbs in storm. The limbs fell into street and sidewalk. She hauled them out, had them cut up, says she called for City to pick up but no one ever did, so she put YW stickers on them, still not picked up. Also, same tree has another dead limb about to fall. Bob: please pick up limbs (sounds like they're ours). Lee: Please let her know if dead limb is her or our responsibility. Thanks.
