Have you noticed anything 'peculiar' about the sidewalks on 11th Ave E? Council has, as have others, and we asked Administration about the 'waves' in the sidewalk. The answer was interesting. In another blog I wrote about how 11th Ave E is too 'flat' resulting in water not moving off of the road. With the construction of gutters and sidewalk water would pool on the road causing a hazard.

To mitigate the water hazard so that it flows away from the road Kamruz, our Director of Engineering, found a cost effective solution. By creating 'waves' in the sidewalk, water on the edge of the road along the gutter will flow to culverts running underneath the sidewalk and draining away from the road.

If you have noticed anything 'peculiar' around town, take a photo and
email me; perhaps we can find an answer.
