Neighborhood Safety

The city of Springfield needs a comprehensive plan to address sidewalks in many east side residential neighborhoods. The city of Springfield currently has a residential sidewalk program in witch property owners pay 50% of the cost to install repair or replace a sidewalk. Many residents in lower income areas can ill afford this added cost. much of the sidewalk concerns are in many cases never addressed at all by city or property owners.  Bunn Park Neighborhood has identified Streets where sidewalks are needed in our neighborhood. Melrose from 11th to 15th streets. - Cornell from 11th to 15th streets - Germania from 11th to 15th streets - Lenox from 11th to 15th Streets - Oberlin 1400 block East.

Sidewalks mean a lot to a community and it is a wise investment in the safety of any neighborhood people who purchase a home are looking for these aminities as they invest in a city. Sidewalks allow them to take full use of there community. Many areas of east Springfield are still waiting for this investment to finally arrive.
