Gentlemen:
I received your letter dated August 28, 1959, advising me of
proposed reconstruction plans for sidewalks on Clinton Avenue from
Winifred Street to Congress Street.
I have lived here since 1946, and these walks were like this since
we moved here. On account of the trees there are some raised spots, but
they do not seem to be getting any worse.
The sidewalks here have very little pedestrian traffic. There is
only one house facing Clinton Street on my side. The few times that
I go toward Congress Street, the sidewalk in front of this house is
usually covered with parked bicycles and trikes, etc; I had to walk
through the boulevard. Other times a car was parked on the sidewalk,
and I had to go into the street to get through. This problem appeared
since the present owner of this house moved here a couple of years ago.
It doesnIt seem practical to me to do this extensive work recon-
structing this sidewalk unless the trees are removed. The same condition
will reoccur in a short time because the tree roots will again damage it.
Inasmuch as there is very little pedestrian traffic here and also
because of the tree problem, I do not approve of this extensive work
at this time.
Ybuurs ,
truly
&L�'
