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.
Thank you! This spot (and some others in this same area) are on the stretch of Whalley Avenue in front of the Mithcell Branch of the Library and Beecher Park. I don't believe there are private residents who would be responsible for mitigation. Thank you again!
Yes there are so many sidewalks in the city even worse than this. I’m not sure how any homeowners would
Be responsible for this when we can’t otherwise do anything with this city property we only maintain by shoveling and removing rubbish from disrespectful people who litter. George st even side between day and Dwight same thing nothing done been reported about for years.
