Three Mile Munich Park Gets New Sidewalks – at Last

Thanks to the city’s new Office of Disability Affairs, the Three Mile Munich Park finally has functioning sidewalks.

For several years, we had used the normal channels to point out the badly damaged sidewalks left behind by demolitions done years ago and their potential hazard to residents with mobility problems. In some areas, the sidewalks had been completely destroyed and replaced by grass, limiting people’s access to the park’s amenities and creating a very unsightly appearance.

When we raised the issue last month with the Office of Disability Affairs, the staff there understood that the situation was unacceptable and needed immediate attention. A few days after we notified them, a crew from DPW came to the park and started work. We are still waiting for new curbs in a few spots, but the park now looks like a city park should look. Thank you, Christopher Samp, Director of Disability Affairs and Jaime Junior, Community Coordinator!
