A ‘walking bus’ destined for the Red Bank Charter School heads west on McLaren Place Wednesday morning. The group, organized with help from Safe Routes Red Bank, and others from around town celebrated International Walk to School Day. (Click to enlarge)

This picture was taken in front of my house. Tree roots have pushed up the sidewalk to create a trip hazard. I have reported this twice, once on the web site and once in person to a Boro Offical,since last Halloween when a child fell while trick or treating.I spray painted the hazard to prevent someone else from falling. The tree was also hit by a car as you can see and that was reported as well.
The campaign sign on my lawn this year will read :”DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY INCUMBENTS”
I hope none of these children tripped while walking today.

While doing my school crossing this morning it was very enjoyable to see more of the Charter School students walking and have fun.

Steve,
I think the sidewalk is your responsibility. I received a letter from my insurance company (who came out to do an inspection – unbeknownst to me) & sent me a nice letter saying that if I didn’t have the sidewalk repaired, they would drop me.
When I contacted the Borough Engineer & asked them why my sidewalk was not replaced (when most of the sidewalk was replaced in the road program that spring) I kinda got a hummuna hummuna answer.
Sadly, you may have to fix it yourself. My tree did the same thing in both directions, but public works did come out & remove part of the curb so that it wasn’t a trip hazard.
I had a contractor replace the section of sidewalk that looked almost exactly like yours did. If you’d like his name, let me know.

Thank you for your comment Jennifer but the town planted the tree and installed the side walk when the street was paved.
