Curb News

The curb across the street has been a crumbled mess for about 30 years. The nearby tree has gotten so big that the roots are kicking up the concrete. It's a mangled mess and extremely dangerous. I asked my neighbors if they'd ever called the city to request repairs? They hadn't.

Last week the city guys actually marked the curb! That's a different story from actually FIXING the curb but I think it's a start. They said that it was going to be a handicapped curb which is even more exciting! For some reason, some of the curbs on the Eastside are a good two feet off the street. It makes lifting a double stroller onto sidewalk a clean-and-jerk type action. Not fun.

The curb was marked on Thursday and it still sits in disrepair. I'll be keeping everyone aware of the progress. Hopefully we'll see fast results!! And I am really looking forward to posting before/after pictures!

Update 3/11/09 - Work has started!! The corner is a big mess right now but we are all very excited about the action. Looking forward to the finished product!
