MACEDONIA, Ohio — Some people living in Macedonia are trying to get answers to a massive sidewalk problem. The city said residents have to pay for repairs, but many told us that’s just not right.He’s lived in Macedonia for decades and said he didn’t have a problem with sidewalks until the past few years.
He told us he called the city a while ago. “‘We’re going to see how we can take care of this for you and something is going to be done,’” said Harrity about the conversation he had with the service department. “That never happened.”“It’s somebody else’s mistake that we’re fixing,” said Marie Crawford, who lives five minutes away from Harrity. She, too, has tree roots creating sidewalk issues.
We found one project where the owner told us it’s costing them just under $20,000 to repair the sidewalks. We did speak to the city council president, who said there have been problems with people tripping on sidewalks, and even though the city has been lax in enforcing repairs, it’s now cementing its stance and requiring the fixes.
