Description
Dangerous situation on the Knight Street side of home on 259 Carpenter Street. An old unused curb cut needs to have curbing reinstalled and sidewalk brough back to proper grade. Adjacent section of walk way completely missing a concrete sidewalk surface. This old curb cut allows wayward cars to drive up into pedestrians on walkway. Dirt area in adjacent walk way is dangerous to pedestrians. How does this property have a new paved driveway the full width of the property? This is against zoning ordinances.

So we are a month into this and no progress. The mayor receives these issues via email. Today I saw a woman trying to push a double stroller across the rocks and dirt. Had a car veered off the road and up the old driveway ramp, a family of three would be no more.
Can't say we didn't try to keep the city from being held liable if something were to happen. Well I suppose a settlement would just come from our taxes. Go Cicilline!

The city truly stepped up. Although a lack of initial communication, the city apparently has awarded a contract to a company for the repaving, sidewalk rebuild and crosswalk installation at this intersection. Work to begin within a month. The old curb cut and sidewalk issue will be addressed then.
No word on how the adjacent property owner has a driveway the dull width of his property. Very illegal but Everyone looks the other way.
