Description
A newly installed sidewalk has a noticeable slope that is causing water to pool in a large area after rainfall. This standing water is already forcing pedestrians—including school children and individuals with mobility impairments—to leave the sidewalk and walk in the street to bypass the puddle. This presents a serious year-round safety concern. During the winter months, the pooled water is likely to freeze, creating an additional slip hazard for all pedestrians. This will pose a significant risk to public safety, particularly for school children and local residents who rely on the sidewalk for safe passage. Request that the slope and drainage of the sidewalk be re-evaluated. Corrective grading or installation of drainage solutions is recommended to remove standing water and ensure safe pedestrian travel.
