Mequon Clog: The Blog of the Clog!

Towards the beginning of the school year, the sidewalk repair group worked on high-traffic areas to increase safety. Unfortunately, the clean-up crew has not come afterwards to fill in the gaps around these repairs. The area around the construction is mostly residential. That means families. That means kids. As much as we can give directions to our children to stay on the sidewalks, they like to walk ahead a bit or in groups. In the evening hours, the lack of light only exacerbates the problem. The photo to the right is where a friend's 3 yr old daughter fell into. Fortunately, she was not hurt, just scared. You can see that the weeds have grown to obscure the danger.

As the leaves fall, the problem will only become more hidden. As the snow falls, we can expect to face major trenches of water buildup in the Spring.
