Has Edmonton left hazardous sidewalks unreplaced despite decades of requests?

The two readers split, so this goes ahead under the rule that GO needs both readers or one GO and one PARK. One reader said PARK: The commenter didn't say which street, and the Neighbourhood Renewal schedule can only show whether a sidewalk is due for replacement once the location is known. The other said GO: Edmonton's Neighbourhood Renewal Program records and annual pavement and sidewalk condition assessments show when a given sidewalk was actually last renewed or scheduled, a narrower but checkable version than the resident's "40 years" personal claim, which itself isn't separately tracked.

Sidewalk condition assessments and the corresponding complaint and replacement records settle both assertions.
