A new sidewalk being placed between Martin Street and Dell Street in downtown Jefferson has to be replaced after it was found to be too high.
Jefferson city manager John Ward said the sidewalk, as well as the curb and gutter, was put in too high.
“The contractor has agreed to correct this by removing the newly-poured items and to replace it at no additional cost to the city,” Ward said.
The problem was discovered last week when city of Jefferson staff, along with project managers with Bron Cleveland, Clark Patterson Engineering and Tri Scapes, met at the site to conduct a project review of the downtown streetscape project.
Demolition and replacement work has already began.
The sidewalk is part of the streetscape project in the downtown Jefferson area.

I drive by this new sidewalk several times a day and it looked really high, even from a distance.

The city did not even know about this until the guy who lives across from Mike's grill complained about the sidewalk, it is so funny to hear them say they had something to do with fixing the problem. They all seem to pat each other on the back monthly just to make each other feel better. If you want to see how much our City Manager cares about appearance just ride by his house with the grass a foot high a weeds taking over the entire yard, I'm sure his neighbors just love him.
