Muddy sidewalks make walk an unpleasant trip
Guilford County Schools should be concerned with the erosion around Jefferson School. I am an avid walker and pass these sites several times a week.
The public sidewalks on New Garden Road are covered with mud after a rain, and the Jefferson School property has quite a bit of erosion all over. The outdoor basketball courts are covered with mud and standing water in many areas after a rain.
If the Greensboro Parks & Recreation Department cannot maintain current parks, why should we add to the number?
If the contractor is at fault, then the legal department should start the process to correct it. If this is a Guilford County Schools issue, it should be looked at and corrected.
As my taxes go up, I am troubled when I see these eyesores in our community.
As a walker, I have to go into the street to avoid mud that washes onto sidewalks. I appreciate the sidewalks but would like to use them as they were meant to be used.

Must be a nice life to have to only worry about mud on a sidewalk.

Max, while this can be an "eyesore," I do not see why you would HAVE to walk in the road to avoid it. That seems like a choice rather than necessity. I am sure there are MANY other items that need addressing than mud covered sidewalks. So, what do you do after the "mud" returns to "dirt" Max?

From the picture above, it looks like you could easily just walk in the grass to the right of the sidewalk.
I doubt that the sidewalks are Guilford County School's perogative.
Many, MANY roads don't even HAVE sidewalks. To have one like this one to walk on is a real blessing.
Hopefully, this issue will be addressed. If not, I'd buy some dark walking shoes and move on.
