They were removed on Friday afternoon. The sidewalks between Chicago and Woodbury were blocked-off a total of eight days. In my opinion this was completely avoidable with a little forethought. IS PEPCO even aware that some of their contractors don't follow State and Federal law when they are working in the ROW? I think it is very clear that they do not. How can PEPCO ensure that their contractors are following proper procedure when doing work in the ROW? INSPECT.<br /><br />Until they are instructed otherwise by the people who pay them, the contractor who did this work on Sligo Avenue will most likely repeat the process over and over again. How many times will pedestrians be required to walk in the street because they don't consider sidewalks important? WHO KNOWS???<br /><br />I have been advised several times by both SHA and MCDOT officials to file a complaint against PEPCO for their lack of attention to ADA issues and procedures. Maybe it is time to follow-through on that...William Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535553476707271954noreply@blogger.com
