Fire hydrants may interfere with widening. Maintenance - City plows the snow onto sidewalk. Street widths needed for school buses, garbage trucks, access and on-street parking. Do not narrow streets. Widen sidewalks without using street.
Sidewalks are too narrow - forces people to walk in the street.
Would like to see streets narrowed to widen sidewalks rather than taking away lawns. Three feet beyond edge of sidewalk is public property - should be available for public use. Streets need to be repaved. Smooth out curb for driveways. Cars tend to drive faster on wider streets.
