Sidewalk in need of repair

4/7/2021-I have reported a problem with the sidewalk in front of my home since Feb 2011. The sidewalk is raised due to tree roots that the town has since taken down (Oct 2013). The sidewalk has cracked more and when it rains there is a huge puddle and now it's completely crumbling to small rocks. Many older and handicapped people walk on this side of the street and I have seen many people trip. The town has marked out the sidewalk and driveway skirt numerous times, needs repaired asap.
Here is the last signoff from the Engineering Inspector 12/8/2017: "The Town currently repairs sidewalks based on the roads with the oldest complaints. Once we get to a street, we attempt to repair all sidewalk problems on the street. We are currently working on streets with complaints from 2007 and about to begin 2008 streets. Based on current funding and given your street is a 2007 street, we anticipate it to take within a year to get to the street. The town is currently winding down sidewalk work for the year due to impending cold temperatures and snow". I do not understand why it would take over 10 years for the Town to repair this issue. I would appreciate a timely response.

My children have fallen and most recently my daughter has busted her knee as a result of the poor conditions on the sidewalk in front of our home 40 Rentell road. My electrolytes neighbor has a walker and I am always reminding her to be careful has the indent in the sidewalk is uneven and she can fall. Please fix this issue has children use the sidewalk to ride bikes and I know need to use the street for their safety.

There is grass on the sidewalk at both 68 and 114 Fallon Dr. It makes walking difficult and is very unsightly.

the actual location is directly behind 135 Forest Street in the circle between #94 and Klienfelds on melrose far end of the cul de sac By both maple street trees are lifted sidewalk slabs that are a major risk to the town liability.

Resident called in to request their sidewalks be inspected and evaluated for the Replacement Program.

Not exactly sidewalk...but close. Putnam Ave was recently resurfaced and the street is nice to drive so thanks for that but now there is about a five inch gap between my driveway and the street - does the town fix this or is it up to me - please let me know. And since you are reading this my sidewalk is also broken,,,,,thanks for your time,,,,Arthur Bargar
