Resident tells council of dangerous sidewalk holes; staff accept photos for inspection
Summary
A resident reported large holes in a sidewalk between house numbers 37 and 39, citing risks to children and strollers; council staff accepted photos and said they will inspect the location for follow-up.
During the good-and-welfare/public-comment period, a resident (speaker 6) said she lives between house numbers 37 and 39 and described significant holes in the sidewalk that pose hazards to children and strollers. She provided photographs to the council; staff (speaker 5) accepted copies and the council said it would take a look at the condition and follow up.
The resident said the condition may have existed for years but had become worse and more dangerous as young families use the sidewalk. Council staff confirmed they recorded the resident's address and will inspect the site.
Why it matters: Damaged pedestrian infrastructure is a local safety concern; inspection may lead to repair work and budget or scheduling decisions by public works.
Next steps: Staff will inspect the sidewalk location and report back to the council; the resident's photographs were retained for the record.
