As I walk my dog around the neighborhood, I notice that most folks are doing their best to
keep the actual sidewalks clear. There is, in many places, debris piled up between the
sidewalk and road, where the city suggests stuff to be picked up is put. Those that have
just not done anything at all are probably not receiving ( or at any rate reading) these
e-mails.
I appreciate the concern for the kids (I've told mine not to wear flip-flops around
here), but for some families, it's been a truly overwhelming few weeks. We're
doing the best we can. Have patience.
In the mean-time, if anyone has time, contacting the city about the few houses on which
nothing at all has been done would probably be constructive.
Thanks to Nichole for the info on reporting streetlights-

Subject: [Lockwood] Debris on sidewalks near Powell ES
Neighbors,
I am not exactly sure what the City's policy regarding the tornado-related debris
placed on the sidewalk is, but it is making Powell Elementary students' walk to school
downright treacherous.
If parking a vehicle on the sidewalk is illegal…
The debris is piled on the sidewalks along Marlborough and N King Charles, forcing
students to walk in the middle of 35 mph streets.
Is there any way this area can be made a clean-up priority considering the number of
student walkers that must take to the street in order to get to school and back every day?
In the meantime let your concern be heard and please vote:

Many thanks to the Bowens for posting this and sharing.
Best, Vanessa
