The situation also made il quile dangerous for citîzens itecause îhe sidewalk in front of my home had developed a sink hole under iî as a resulî of îhe work lthe eompany had done. In May i contaeted Mayor Gord Krantz. The mayor and his staff were mosi helpful. They eontaeîed the company and finally my situation was correct- ed. 1tîruly believe if îî wasn't for the mayor and bis staff, my problemn and îhe dangerous sidewalk wouldn'î have been c ortetîed. 1 tbink some people failt b realize whaî a diffîcuiî job the mayor and bis staff have.
