If you walk your neighborhood, you probably encounter sidewalks that are not safe to walk on - tree-roots have raised many sections as well as other sections have not held up and are cracked and broken.
Link to Township's report on sidewalks.
For years, because of codes, sidewalks on corner lots couldn't go to the street - just like you were not to extend your concrete drive to the street and had to use blacktop or gravel.
Now with ADA guidelines, these sidewalks are being connected to streets with the special "rumble strips" to assist the sight-challenged or those who become distracted.
Are you interested is the sidewalk issues? Would you serve your neighborhood and join a committee who will be gathering information, meeting with local government and planning areas to receive new sidewalks or repairs?

Kalamazoo Township Trustee Leuty will be at our February 17th WNA Meeting (Zoom) at 7:00 pm.
Trustee Leuty has walked all the sidewalks in the township and has been an instrumental figure in the work that's been done in the last few years.
