This broken concrete is from the construction on the burned building across the street on Park Street. Public Works has notified Planning and Building to put hold on permit at this location until the sidewalk is fixed. Public Works put up barricades and tape, but Planning and Building should check to be sure that they are still standing. Public Works has also written a letter to the Property Owner letting them know of the destruction and that they are responsible. If you have any questions, please call 747-6800.

Sincerely,

Gail Carlson
Public Works Department

Left 2 messages with Gail Carlson, with no returned phone call, this had now been unaddressed since May (4 months), this is a liability for the city just waiting to happen. Barricades are still downed, at a minimum the area should be barricaded correctly with light flashers for night. This needs to be managed correctly, repair the concrete for $5k or spend likely far more than that with a tripping hazard lawsuit.

The Public Works Department has sent the Property Owner a Notice to Repair letter concerning the broken sidewalk on both sides of San Jose Avenue at this location. The Property Owner lives out of the state, so this process may take longer than normal. Furthermore, we are pursuing this matter through our City Attorney's Office.

Sincerely,

Gail Carlson

Thank for the response Gail and the explanation, I still think it would be wise to better barricade the area with flashing lights in the interim to prevent someone tripping at night.
