Description
The concrete sidewalk along Jefferson Avenue in front of St. Anne's Rectory is elevated and is a tripping hazard. My understanding is that this was reported at the DPW by a citizen back in 2019 or so and never repaired.
In 2022 an elderly woman tripped and fell requiring ambulance transfer to the hospital as she had a fractured arm (same arm that she had a shoulder repair). I recalled her falling. She did not report it to the city but did tell me when she came by the church. (A year later), she has recovered.
Please repair this trip hazard, "Salem is for all Ages" per our City award from AARP, let's make the sidewalks safe.
Thank You!
