Sidewalks, trees and streets of Delaware Avenue area and Wilmington. The city is currently trying to pass responsibility for sidewalk maintenance back to property owners. There is more information to be found at DelawareWatch.blogspot.com and WHYY story on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6WI-kZbFuU
Street tree and sidewalk maintenance issues are having similar problems because the line between private and public public responsibility is ill defined.

Note on tree grant for 2007. Because of miscommunication I was not able to secure the available $10,000 funding from the Delaware Urban and Community Forestry Program. Other monies are made available for emergencies and by our local representatives, previously Joe DiPinto and currently Gerald Brady. Planting and removals are continuing thanks to these individuals.

I urge anyone interested in the appearance and safety as well as the efficiency of government programs to come to the Delaware Ave. Community Associations meeting this fall.

Thanks. Hal Hardy
