Caller states that a pile of sand and dirt was left on the sidewalk so long that it has now washed down the curb line the whole block and weeds are now growing in the gutter line. He does not think the street sweeper will be able to pick it up and believes it will need to be shoveled up.
Beth Holbrook called about a missing sidewalk linkage on the west side of S.Sare Road from Buttonwood Lane to a point about 250 yards south. She observes that access to the new middle school and park would be served by completing sidewalk. She acknowledges that the sidewalk on the east side of Sare Road would provide access. But it also needs to be completed. Please explore who is responsible for doing sidewalks and when they could be completed. I will notify sidewalk committee of concern.

"They take away a car's turning radius, slow traffic, just not working well." (ie., sw crner of M.C. Library block projection-light pole on it,crner has been extended, cars can park in it - "it's awkward & uncomfortable to make turn." He basically suggests NO MORE CURB EXT.'S!
