Morse Streetscape bricks sinking

Watch your step in the 1300 block of West Morse Avenue
We've got an ankle breaker here. A portion of bricks that were laid for the Morse Avenue Streetscape in 2011, in the 1300 block of West Morse Avenue, are collapsing into the ground.

People walking along the sidewalk have tripped in the hole. I've seen one lady fall because of the hole. Surprisingly, no one has been injured. It's been this way nearly a year now.

You'd think a major city project that is less than 5 years old should hold up better than it has - you'd be mistaken. You'd think someone with authority would've noticed - and had the brick sinkhole fixed in a timely fashion - you'd be mistaken. I've personally seen Alderman Moore walk right by this sidewalk sinkhole. Clueless that he is, he didn't even take note. So much for him knowing the Ward like the back of his hand, as he claims.

Not until someone really gets injured and sues the city will anything like repairing the problem happen.

That's the Rogers Park Way.
