Common Council Notes: It’s Sidewalk Fixing Time

Fulton residents: Got a cracked sidewalk? Now’s the time to call your Alderman.

“We’re looking at the sidewalk list,” said Common Council member Kim Roy, who asked residents of the 6th Ward to call her with locations of sidewalks that need attention.

Suggestions can also be phoned directly to the Mayor’s office, at 592-7330.

If the porch is ever destroyed or torn down, however, it cannot be rebuilt unless the Common Council approves it.
