English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Fix all of the sidewalks! Sidewalks are uneven - some have been damaged or overrun by tree roots. There are also many brick sidewalks that are missing bricks or falling apart. I would want this funding to go to the maintenance and repair of sidewalks
Who it helps and why
Gives equal access to sidewalks for everyone. Damaged sidewalks can be challenging to walk on with wheelchairs, strollers, or anyone with limited mobility
