HOUSTON – A SW Houston resident is fed up with the city’s response to what he claims is their own mistake.
SUGGESTED: SE Houston residents turn to KPRC 2 after seeing report on illegal dumping cleaned up in South Park neighborhood
Patrick Cole contacted KPRC 2 through our Help Desk to notify us about a dangerous sidewalk near his home.
Cole says the sidewalk was damaged by city employees picking up trash shortly after Hurricane Beryl.
SEE ALSO: Hurricane Beryl left this power pole leaning toward homes. KPRC 2 got CenterPoint to fix it... except... well... look
He also said he’s contacted the city several times over the past few months, but nothing has been done to resolve it.
As of 1 p.m.: Spoke with Cole, and reached out to Solid Waste Management to get answers, but they have not responded.
KPRC 2′s Bill Barajas will continue to make updates to this live blog as he continues to find answers.
