In the winter these side walk panels gather water, and freeze over. I live right at 35 Grove....the sidewalk panels are actually in front of 39 Grove....but they have been this way for YEARS. I cannot tell you how many people, including an elderly woman from our church (1st. Congregational) who have either slipped and fallen in winter, or got tripped up on the uneven panels in milder weather and fallen in this spot. I would say there have been at least 7 or 8 people I have seen. The tree limbs are rotted and periodically drop hunks of tree limbs down. The city really needs to address this problem.
