RE: I slipped. SLO should fix this.

Dear Barbara Lynch, Deputy Director of Public Works,

Thank you for your email of March 12, in response to my email on March 3, which detailed a particularly dangerous crosswalk within city limits. I inspected the area in question this afternoon, and was pleasantly surprised. The algae growth on this corner appears to have been significantly reduced. I feel that there is little safety hazard at the corner of Laurel Ln. and Southwood Dr. today.

Based on the content of your previous email, I trust that the work done to improve the safety of this crosswalk is, as you described, an interim solution. It is clear that the private property owners have yet to remedy their water leak. Although there is no algae in the city's crosswalk now, it will inevitably grow back, unless the city is successful in pursuing a correction to this dangerous situation. Until that day, the city will have unnecessary work to maintain a safe crossing of Laurel Ln.

Thank you for your attention to this situation. I look forward to the day where water stops unnecessarily flowing down the gutter.

Sincerely,
