  • HE SAID THIS SIDEWALK HASNT BEEN TOUCHED IN YEARS!!! When I stumbled along this widewalk a kind man told me the background story behind why it's so overgrown. He also told me his story and offered to help with cutting it down because the cops have harassed him from being on the road but theres now way he could walk on the sidewalk with the over growth.. LET ME KNOW WHAT YALL THINK of this makeover it was an awesome one and big thanks to Kevin for helping me with it!

    Why doesn't code enforcement write citations to the city for allowing the sidewalks to get that bad? They should have had that cleared out long before it became impassable. If the city can't be responsible enough to maintain public sidewalks, they have zero business requiring residents to maintain their lawns. Thank you, Al and Kevin for doing the city's job for them. What a wonderful thing you've done!!

    This is not a video of an ordinary transformation, this is a video about humanity and taking responsibility. I don't understand how a police officer can fine someone who walks on the road for obvious reasons. An officer should recognize such a situation and know that he cannot impose a fine for it. Isn't the municipality responsible for the roads and sidewalks and their maintenance? That is the case here in the Netherlands. It seems to me that you can easily reclaim such a fine from the municipality. It is no longer a matter of 'being difficult to pass', but completely 'impassable'.
    In any case, great video!!
