Description
South Wind Circle sidewalks have several spots around the circle that are caked with mud. When wet the mud is very slippery. The mud has been there for over 3 years and I have fallen multiple times when walking my dog. Myself and neighbors are afraid of a bad fall. Could the sidewalks be cleans and possibly address the drainage concerns as puddles of water stand for days and in winter water freezes as it’s running off the yards.

Dear User SA, we will investigate and make proper notification(s) if needed to the property owners via certified mail.
Per Howard County Code, maintenance of the sidewalk is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner.
Sec. 18.402. - Maintenance of sidewalks, driveways and sod.
(A) It shall be the duty and obligation of the owner of property abutting a public right-of-way to maintain the abutting sidewalk, driveway apron and sod or grass within the public right-of-way in such condition as to be safe for public use. However, if the sidewalk has been damaged solely by the roots of trees in the County right-of-way or by a County water or sewer construction project, then it shall be the responsibility of the County to replace or repair the sidewalk damaged by the tree roots or by the County water or sewer construction project.
