I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.

Sidepath on north side of 17th St between Lincoln and Dunn is covered with ice across the whole width. There is a short stretch in the middle that is clear, but most of it is covered with ice. This is a sidepath and the city is supposed to be responsible for maintaining it. Pedestrians and cyclists are supposed to be first class transportation users. Thanks!
