RFS 14680 assigned. If received outside of normal business hours, we will investigate this issue on the next business day.

sarah, that is true, but many of our sidewalks do not exhibit this problem (for example the remaining stretch of sidewalk in the picture).

Pooling like this crops up when things have gone wrong whether through settling or bad design/engineering or whatever else. Identifying these problematic locations is the first step in rectifying the problems.

Over 20% of Burlingtonians walk to work*, it is imperative that we maintain our sidewalks such that they can do so safely and comfortably, along with everyone else who also use our sidewalks to get around.

Well said RJ.

Here's a thought: If 20% of our DPW employees regularly walked to work, we'd likely have 50% fewer sidewalk issues.

I dont think most DPW employees live in Burlington

You are receiving this message because you have previously (or perhaps just now) submitted a request on SeeClickFix. We're excited to let you know that we are now implementing a comprehensive asset management program which is a mostly "behind the scenes" effort. This will enable more efficient, more effective and more fiscally sound infrastructure management. Nothing changes for you and we'll continue to use SeeClickFix, but we have had to automate a process to connect our open SCF requests with our asset management program. There may be the occasional bug to work out, but rest assured that your issue is still in queue and assigned to the right City staffer. Once this initial round of automation is through in about a week, we'll revert back to our standard messages on SeeClickFix.
