Over the years, tree roots have lifted sections of the sidewalk in our neighborhood. For the safety of those who enjoy walking through the neighborhood, those raised panels require maintenance and/or replacement. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to care for this hazard. Options for maintenance include 1) Contacting City of Springfield Public Works Department 541-726-3761, 2) Hire an outside contractor to perform the work for you (at your expense), or 3) You can do the work yourself with a handheld grinder and a diamond grit sanding disk.
