Description
The sidewalk near the bus stop on Howe and Elm has deteriorated and has not been attended to for years.
Because of pits and missing parts of the sidwalk, the entire sidewalk corner near the bus stop and Brick Oven Pizza fills up with water and puddles-up whenever it rains.
It is even worse when it is cold, since these deteriorated sidewalks fill with frozen water and become dangerous to walk on.

First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".
In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.
We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.

Thank you for your response. REgarding the first step, who schedules the inspection from Public works?
The sidewalk is attached to the parking lot for Brick Oven Pizza so I assume that is who is responsible. Their dumpster is routinely parked on the sidewalk so I assume they would take care of upkeep.
