Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association (DMNA), Inc.

I have a couple questions about our sidewalks. Does the city pay for sidewalk repair? There are two slabs that run along the east side of my home that are very uneven, and I watch people stumble over them. I don't have money to pay for a repair myself, but for the neighbors and the kids whom attend northrop environmental school, I would like to see them repaired before someone trips and injures themselves. These spots also collect water and freeze into very slippery ice patches which I will not be able to afford to salt this winter :( Any advice or solution anyone has for me is most welcome.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony, did anyone ever respond to you?  Did you get the wammy when the city came in this year and charged all of us for sidwalk replacement.  It sucks!  Talk about Racketeering, and I didn't even have to get it done.  It just angers me that the city can do this as well as charge us continuously for garbage cans that we have paid for probably at least 5 times over.
