Default chopped up sidewalk

OK I have watched people stumble slip and everything else trying to get around this mess! I need to know who I can contact to fix this problem. I ahve called CLIP, the city, Perzel, and Krawjewskis office. Not a single response. Now I know this has been mentioned before but this is a joke. It has been torn up for about 6 weeks now. I just watched as a woman walking a huge dog stumbled down onto her knees. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. Can anyone please point me in the right direction on who to call.

Wait for rain.

Throw bag in hole.

Rip open.




Or fall and call an ambulance. Then fake neck and back pain.

If its city owned property good luck, if its privately owned then you can look up who owns it and call the mayors office and ask them.

Also it is a private property sidewalk, and every time we mention something to them about something, we wind up paying for something like a broken windshield or for new cable and verizon wires So I would rather put this problem in someone else hands we have way to many expensives coming up.

Cool

You could put in a call to L&I and report it as a hazzardous condition on a public right of way. Theoretically if homeowner refuses to fix it after being cited by L&I, L&I will hire a contractor to repair it and bill the homeowner.

Call your councilman. That is what they are there for. Put him/her to work.

It is a public thoroughfare. If that was my sidewalk, with my luck, I would have been cited and fined on day two....here we are 5 weeks later.
