Description
Side walk has been lifting over the yrs. We have reported it multiple times over the last 10 yrs now. City only poorly patched one little area which has since gotten worst. Tree was cut down after yrs of reports but sidewalk was never repaired all around safety issues as is a busy side walk in the area

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.
