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.

The construction workers building the house next door have been moving our trash can from the street to the middle of our yard, and parking in front of it so it does not get picked up, as well as blocking our driveway. I completely understand that if they are using a cement mixer etc they will need to block the street for more room, but they will park their personal trucks in front of our driveway when the driveway of the house they are working on is perfectly clear. I only want to start a paper trail in case I need to escalate the situation.
