E34th Street Repairs
Coming in Via Email
The 1700 block of East 34th street was surveyed yesterday by city workers. If homeowners were previously issued violations for bad/cracked/uneven sidewalks, and didn’t make the repairs, the city will now be making the repairs.
Curbs and sidewalks were marked with bright orange spray paint, denoting the areas that will be fixed within the next week or two.
Formal written notification of the work to be done was left in homeowners’ mailboxes.
If a homeowner had their sidewalk fixed but did not contact the city to remedy the violation, they must do so immediately so their address is taken off the violation list.
I am not sure if any other blocks have been assessed, but I just wanted to give the community a heads up on the matter.

The cones have been put in place on the west side of the street advising ‘No Parking’ Monday and Tuesday. The workman said the crews should be on the job by 7AM on Monday.

I don’t understand. Who is paying to fix the sidewalks, the city or the homeowner?

The homeowner will be billed by the city after the completion of the work. All information was contained in the violation notices which were sent out a few years ago. Owners had sufficient time to have the work done on their own (some did). The homeowners can call 311 for more information or check with Lew’s office.
Let us not forget PS 222 is at the corner of E34. Weekdays this street is normally congested with teacher parking, parents and school bus traffic. Tuesday is also trash and recycling pickup.

One more question……Is the city responsible for repairs if a parks dept tree created the damage?
[Reply]
One thing I’ve never understood-they dig up the whole street on Day 1, and then the pavers and asphalt guys don’t show up for several days, leaving what looks like a lunar landscape to beat the daylights out of cars. Why aren’t the pavers working with them to go in right behind the street scraper, or at least the next day? It’s not coordinated at all and it’s been that way forever.

The DOT allows utilitys to come and do what they need to do if anything
