Wal-mart has already started turning excess front sidewalk space into a medical center by doing a bump out to their building.

Improve sidewalk What was the outcome?

. $300 violations to a property owner if a neighbor dumps trash on your adjacent sidewalk. 

Water, Sewer, fire hydrants, Electric, sidewalks, storm drainage. 

That theory might actually stop working with the recent explosion in the homeless population in most of the big cities, especially on the West Coast where you can camp out under the highway bridge and not freeze to death.Yes, they need a place to stay, but apparently the sidewalk in front of your business can be perfectly suitable.

For a city that has struggled to manifest even the most basic elements of urban infrastructure — smooth and useful sidewalks, a thriving tree canopy, new housing developments — it’s promising and beguiling that Raman, an urban planner with degrees from Harvard and MIT, might ascend to office at this moment.

No person owning or having the care, custody, or control of any dog or cat shall permit said dog or cat to soil or defile or commit any nuisance upon any sidewalk, street, thoroughfare, wetland, in or upon public property or in or upon the property of persons other than the owner or persons having the care, custody, or control of such dog or cat, unless said person picks up any such waste and disposes of it in a sanitary manner.

Many City owned improvements like driveway aprons, curb, gutter, sidewalk and cross gutters are all poured without rebar because the rebar would create maintenance issues in order to remove the concrete etc.So that said...can the damaged section of concrete be removed and replaced?

Check for foundation and basement walls and look for any major settling, also driveway or sidewalk issues4.

I like the properties, the city is investing in the area as sidewalks, lighting and new pavement are being put on the main street.
