Mona, the city should be paying for these sidewalks to be fixed. Why should homeowner's be responsible for the damage a city tree causes????? Why should they pay for a permit to get it fixed??? The homeowner's had NO say in what type of trees would be planted, and anyone with half a brain would NOT have chosen trees with such invasive root systems as have been chosen by the city here in Turlock. If this were any other situation, the person responsible for causing damage to someone else's property would be held liable for the repairs. But the city refuses to accept responsibility for the damages their choices cause. Talk about a double standard!!!!!!!!!
