Steve Kipp did some excellent research on the superior cost-effectivenss of repair hex block sidewalk vs. concrete repairs.

Steve contacted the Mayor to urge him to give more consideration to making better use of taxes as well as preserving an important aspect of the character and historic nature of our neighborhood and other old neighborhoods.

Steve's research included the link below which provides a well-reasoned argument for the long-term value of hexblock. When you have a chance, take a look. I was impressed enough to be motivated to post this note to our web site.

And when you have a chance, contact City Council and the Mayor to voice your interest and concern on this issue.
