At some times during the year the smell can be quite strong on the sidewalk, so we've asked that they perform some type of abatement.

The county which seems to act as if decent sidewalks are an abomination are beginning to put in semi-logical sidewalks in those areas around PG Plaza mall and Rt 1.

For example, your landscaper cuts down a tree and it falls on a neighbors house; or someone is walking down your ice-covered sidewalk and falls.2.

Fixing the sidewalks is also something that will dress it up.

You should cluster your purchases in a very small area that exhibits traits of defensible space (such as well lit houses w/ good viewpoints of the street, close proximity to busy shops, etc), maybe a couple of streets or a small neighborhod, and also rehab them in a way that will increase these traits (add lights, add white picket fence or hedge to separate public from private, fix sidewalks), and hopefully in the end you will have a group of homeowners who feel safe and care about what happens to their street.

Land Improvements are driveways, sidewalks, fencing, landscaping, etc.

You should check sidewalks for ice regularly.
