Description

The crosswalk connecting one sidewalk handicap access (in ftont os Ste. Anne's Church) to another handicap
Sidewalk access in front of Ste. Anne's Rectory has a pothole in the middleif ....potential hazard to person in wheelchair or disabled/elderly
walking in crosswalk. Also since the street is generally in disrepair alot if silt runs down the street (both from Jeffrson Ave & Story St) ending up at the handicap entry plate to the sidewalk in front of the rectory, creating a "soft shoulder" another potentially dangerous situation if in a wheelchair. This was pointed out to the contracted supervisor last year when he was checking the work. Church volunteers are sweeping this sand /silt every couple of weeks.
I can only attach one pic though I have 1 each of potholes & sand
