Oh yes, I agree that the owner is primarily responsible for the sidewalks.? I don't think that bars the city from doing it, as they seem to from time to time to improve an area.? I'm just saying new sidewalks would be much better for most of us on the milled streets than new streets.

Not the City? In other words, I don't think the City can decide to repave sidewalks, except on property it "owns", such as City Hall, parks, bridges, etc. Perhaps the stretch of 43rd St along side Clark Park would qualify, but most of the other torn-up areas wouldn't.? ? ?
