understand the overall cost
I have walked this subdivision many times. The sidewalks are in disrepair. Kids ride their bikes in the street due to horrible sidewalk conditions. When my wife and I walk the Sub, we have to be careful not to get hurt because of bad sidewalks and in some cases no sidewalks. The cost of having these repairs without the city supplementing the cost? costly!
cost (i.e. $2500) divided by 120 months (10 years) = $21 a-month (inexpensive over the life of repair).
Original sidewalk paved = 1968
lifespan of concrete in use = 25 years
tree root damage along public way = severe
what are your thoughts?
