[RP TownTalk] Sinking cobblestones

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

Good luck with getting any sidewalks fixed in Riverdale.  I have been 
complaining about my sidewalks and curb/gutters for I think maybe 8 years!  I have 
taken photos and written letters and have been through 3 mayors and many council 
reps to no avail.  I did get a patch by public works recently (within the 
last year)  This patch really doesn't do the job.  Kids on their bikes and ladies 
with their strollers always trip in front of my house.  I trip in front of my 
house over this big bump.  Actually a former councilperson's kid went flying 
through the air on his bicycle as I watched out the window one day.  Big 
development, economic progress, etc. seems to be getting all the attention.  Many 
years ago Riverdale Park incorporated in order to be able to have street 
lighting and sidewalks.  It was the basic need then and it is still a basic need 
now.  Why isn't it getting any attention?  I keep hearing that the work is going 
to get done and that money is in place to do the work but the cracked 
sidewalks, bumps, pot holes and general neglect of public areas are not being 
addressed.
I propose that if the council and Mayor can get the streets and sidewalks in 
proper order I will vote for a raise in pay!
