Descripción
The sidewalk completely lifted up about 4 inches from the rest of the walkway leaving it a fairly large drop when walking down the street, especially since it is going down hill. It could be very dangerous if someone was walking on the sidewalk at night seeing that it is located in a very dark spot of the street.

First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".
In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.
We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.
