What is the process for curb and sidewalk inspections and why is there a renewed concern?
When streets come up for repair or replacement, the Borough also looks at the conditions of abutting sidewalks and curbs. Following an on-site inspection, recommendations are made for Council’s consideration. For many years this was not done, and the current Council realized that there was a growing safety issue arising from broken curbs, cracked and raised sidewalks, tripping hazards. We could not permit this to continue.
