Solution to resolve sidewalk flooding
Seems the sidewalk has settled over the years. Last year and this year, there has been lots of flooding during warm temps in winter. Water collects on the sidewalk and then refreezes. There's about 3 - 4 inches of ice on the sidewalk in the attached pic. The sidewalk also floods during rain in the summer but it evaporates eventually.
I have chipped the ice out in the past, but doing so doesn't stop the water from collecting again from snowmelt and then freezing. It's a battle that is never won.
What is a solution to this mess? I read that the sidewalk will have to be jackhammered out, properly graded and re-poured.
This belongs to the Town. It's adjacent to my property. I called them and sent an email today with a picture to try and get some action going here. I have put in a few requests over the last 13 months and it's went nowhere.
They told me today that they are going to send the public works foreman out to investigate "sometime today."
