Want to fix the sidewalks?

This information comes from Milwood resident Marie Martin:

Do you notice cracked or broken sidewalks in the neighborhood?  Please call 311 to report the damaged area OR go the Austin’s online 311 reporting service.  Just click Sidewalk repair on the drop down menu and go from there.  You do NOT have to live in front of a broken sidewalk to file a report.  In addition, you can also request additional streetlights if you notice that there is a very dark area of the neighborhood.

Thanks for helping to improve Milwood neighborhood!
