To the Council and concerned residents and officials of Lakewood: In regard to the replacement of gas lines (via Dominion and Vallejo) currently going on in the Arlington/Overlook and Clifton Beach area - I (and neighbors of mine) feel that we should be able to have our sandstone sidewalk slabs saved and re-placed (with the same sandstone slabs (or others if damaged)) where they were (or where they are - (if not yet removed)). This is part of the beauty, charm and history of our residential area and homes - part of the attraction of our moving into the area - and part of the value of our homes' and quality of life (financial and aesthetic). As you may know, I (and all concerned) have payed and invested significant amounts of money (and time) into our homes - AND: great amounts of revenue to Lakewood over many years - decades. Many of us - myself included - have not even raised children here, yet UN-begrudgingly we have supported (in dollars and spirit) a good education for the youth of Lakewood... (and many other good programs and initiatives)... Consequently feel we have a right to this consideration being honored and carried out. [Note: As of this writing (and as one of the work-crew persons suggested) I have been in the process of trying to contact the relevant city department for this issue - and have not yet heard back from them... hopefully that will happen with a satisfactory reply. However, even if that is not the case I respectfully request a positive disposition on this issue regardless of what the current policy (if there is one) may be.] - Thank You -- Joe Seeholzer -- Overlook Rd.
