As he starts tackling the areas where the barely-visible sidewalk wanders onto private property, or doesn't exist, Starkey knows he'll encounter such issues. Now it's a little more of a challenge. I'm giving them lots of time to think about this and talk about it with their neighbors. The old sidewalk is now almost entirely covered by grass, with a few crumbling remains partially visible under an old crabapple tree on the corner of the property. If it were replaced, the sidewalk would run right up to the Alexander's front step, bisecting the front yard.
People already take liberties, cutting through the property and parking on lawns.
You've got to protect your property.
