Re: York Place sidewalk slides into decay (News, Oct. 15).

The picture in your article said it all in that most of the sidewalk is covered by a hedge that hasn’t been maintained.

This is not uncommon in Oak Bay. Seems to me that gentle reminders to homeowners should be sent out with a date they should trim their trees/bushes.

After this, the city should do the job. It’s not fair to residents to have their use of sidewalks impaired like this.
