Sidewalks are being neglected

Sidewalks are being neglected

EDITOR:

My concern is the neglect of the sidewalks on the 4000 block of Glenwood Avenueand the lack of maintenance of same. I see the bridge being worked on and some new sidewalks being installed. The waste comes when the funds to build new are borrowed and the existing structures are neglected due to lack of funds or the inability to plan and procure their care. I am sure this will be true of the new structure as well.

I live on Devonshire we have a sidewalk that is covered with weeds, trees and grass. Residents can’t walk their dogs on the sidewalk; they have to use the street and it is also in disrepair.

These items are really bad and they deserve attention. I mow and maintain the north entrance of Devonshire when I have the ability to, but because I am on a fixed income I cannot do it on a regular basis. The lines of communication with county, township or responsible individuals are not accessible because one says the other has responsibility.
