City staff investigated the complaint and found that the sidewalk has been displaced to the extent that it could cause a pedestrian to trip or stumble. I am sure you are as concerned as we are that this situation be corrected. You may not be aware that the Springfield City Code (copies attached) makes it the property owner's responsibility to maintain sidewalks abutting the~r property. Chapter II, Article 7, section 2-7-4 applies to the situation at your property. To correct this dangerous situation, I propose that you remove and replace the damaged section of sidewalk. A sidewalk permit, which can be obtained at the Development Services Department at city Hall, is required. If tree roots are a problem please contact Greg Ferschweiler, the City landscape supervisor, at 726-3761. If the situation is not corrected in a timely manner, we will have to send you a formal enforcement notice, as required by the City Code.
