Q&A - hAVE A PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION-RELATED QUESTION? eMAIL SUGGEST@MONTEREY.ORG

Question: How do I report a raised sidewalk that has a potential to cause a tripping hazard?
Answer: If the uplift is caused by a city tree the city will fix it, otherwise it might be on the responsibility of the property owner or a utility company to address the issue. Typically, a Public Works crew will go out to identify the uplift, measure the uplift, paint the uplift and take pictures.  We keep a log and send the appropriate party a letter to address the issue.
