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.

We received your issue and will address it as soon as we can. Thanks for reporting.

The issued was first reported to Public Works with a sidewalk inspection in 2007. In 2007 the Public Works department laid in asphalt. This was in front of my house at 112 Hubinger. It was determined that a tree had cause most of the damage. That tree was cut down in 2010. A new tree was planted there sometime in 2011 by those folks from the Yale team that does trees. Do you suggest that I start the process over again?
