[Summit] Sidewalk Repair

[Liz Johnson]

I have been working on the same problem year after year. Last year I measured the tree root lift at about 4 inches. It's higher this year. I have tried the City Forester and Neighborhood Services. 
I will try the form on the ProvConnex page now. Thank you!

Hi, I researched this some years ago when the city accidentally plowed down the tree in front of my house. While your driveway may be your responsibility the sidewalk its self belongs to the city. If you go to the city's facility web sight you can log a complaint about sidewalk issues. Over the past three years I have contacted the city a number of times about  the giant hole they have left in the sidewalk. I have been told that it has been logged into the sidewalk deferred maintenance list and will be attended to when they get that far down. I also asked about the possibility of going out and repairing the section myself which I was told not to do. As I said it has been three years and it is a deep hole. I get the feeling that they just don't care, sorry. I have been on the list for a long time and I call at the beginning of every season. My best advice is to log the complaint and keep on them. I may not be squeaky enough to get grease.

In the same vein, I have a piece of sidewalk concrete lifting up due to tree roots.  It is a city planted tree.

Does anyone have any advice on how I might best approach getting the sidewalk in front of my property?
After last winter one section of concrete is almost non existent.
