Broken sidewalks

Dear Editor:Recently, the city of Downey Department of Public Works, through a contractor, replaced a large number of heaved-up and broken sections of sidewalk here in far northwest Downey, on Samoline, Vista Del Rosa and Lowman, for which I am very grateful. Too bad they didn't look a little farther, or ask someone who walks these sidewalks every day, as they could have found a few more on Samoline, and on Brookpark road between Crider Avenue and Tweedy Lane. However, I am grateful for those they did fix; and now I need to worry only about a few of them, and tripping over my own two feet -- which will probably happen soon enough. -- Jim Lucas, Downey
