UNSAFE Sidewalk FORCES People to Walk on BUSY Street 

I appreciate your support. I definitely need to get some cones to put out, and need to keep my vest in the truck instead of at my house lol. Thank you 🙏 for watching

You must be a democrat

Or like me my truck I use for lawn care got strobes for when I work on busy roads

You would think once it’s a safety hazard they would have stepped in. We do have a city code that requires the homeowner on the other side of the fence to maintain it. Thanks 🙏 for watching

@@DereksLawnRescue Why do you have a "city code" that requires someone who didn't build the path, and didn't install the grass verge, to maintain them both? Do Americans pay taxes to the local authority, and what do they get in return. It seems that civilians also have to ensure that the fire hydrants, which should be maintained by the FD, are just left to the homeowner who is nearest to the hydrant. In Europe the path, and the verge, are the responsibility of the local authority, and hydrants are inspected every 3 weeks by Fire and Rescue. Is this down to the selfish "small government" that makes the taxpayer pay for the work, and then has to do the work. Totally illogical. And, Derek, you should try the "Green Tea Diet". I lost 24 kilos in 5 months and no weight has returned. It stays off. Well worth trying. I also defeated Type 2 diabetes at the same time!

@@Demun1649 unfortunately it has been a city code before I was old enough to vote. I do wish they would tell us where the tax money has been spent. The fire department does maintain the hydrant which is nice and check on them once a month. I will definitely look into it! I am already down 20 pounds but need to lose 40 more to be happy with my weight. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Your tax dollars.... not working.... especially in that locale

@@user-ki5qn4gh5j Can you guide us towards the locale that does spend the tax dollars correctly? There are many of these channels that seem to be doing what the local authority should do.

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your support

Just think, if he was doing the work FOR the city he could just stand around and sweat 30% of the time as they would have 3 guys on this task, at least. Lol. Job well done!

@@jeb3415 thank you 🙏 for those kind words!

Thank you 🙏

Thanks man! I carry a case of water in the truck but will need to do more because the heat really is brutal out there. I appreciate you

@@DereksLawnRescue I appreciate yours too!

Thank you 🙏 I definitely will make sure to drink enough fluids

I completely agree. This is a really busy road and I would feel better if there was a fence as well. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Thank you 🙏 for those kind words! I am glad to help where I can

😅😅😅😊😅😊😅😊😅😅😅😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate the kind words

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate the kind words

That road is definitely busy, and I would walk against traffic as well. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Yeah, I’m in Minnesota and assuming it was allowed to get this bad it would take me a couple of minutes to report a sidewalk like this to the city and they’d have it fixed within a week.

The city puts responsibility on the homeowner by making us required to maintain 6 feet out from the property line. Unfortunately this happens and they take forever to get out in situations like this. I am just glad I am able to help. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Thank you 🙏 for watching. I really appreciate your support

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that

Thank you 🙏 I definitely was nervous and will be buying a reflective vest and some cones in the future

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your support

Thank you 🙏 I definitely bought a safety vest 🦺 after doing this yard

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words. Traffic is so fast in that area so I am just glad I was able to help

Luckily the humidity isn’t as bad as normal but it definitely was hot. Stay hydrated when working outside. Thanks 🙏 for watching again. I appreciated your support

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words. I definitely will make sure to stay hydrated out there! I really appreciate your support

I did purchase a safety vest 🦺 for jobs like this and definitely still need to get a mask. I hope so because I already lost 20 pounds but want to lose another 40! Thanks 🙏 for your support

@@DereksLawnRescue Great job Derek, keep it up!

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you being here every week

Thank you 🙏

@@DereksLawnRescue absolutely brother!

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the kind words and support

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words. I am definitely going to buy a safety vest before I do a job next to a busy street again

Thank you 🙏 I definitely 💯 will

Thank you 🙏 it definitely was a lot to clean up

@@DereksLawnRescue Yes mate, well done!

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that

Thank you 🙏 I did end up purchasing a safety vest 🦺 and have one to use going forward

Anytime! I am glad we are able to help the community! Thank you 🙏 for watching I really appreciate the support

I am definitely going to go buy a safety vest and some cones before I do another video next to a road. Thank you 🙏 for your support!

@@DereksLawnRescue it's so hard to find creators these days who reply to every single comment: great job + keep it up

@@stem.nexalux thank you 🙏 I appreciate when anyone watches and comments so a reply is the least I can do

Thank you 🙏 I definitely will

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate all the comments

Thank you 🙏

Unfortunately where I live there is a city code (which is supposed to save taxpayers money). Basically it states that the homeowner is responsible for maintaining the alley and in this case the area next to the street 6 feet past their property line. This means the homeowner on the other side of the fence was the one responsible for this

I completely agree. I am going to get a safety vest and some cones before I do another one next to a busy street. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Go for it! I really like that name. I would say brothers of faith lawncare. Thanks 🙏 for watching my friend

@@DereksLawnRescue actually that name I wish if u use it as ur lawn business it put a smile on my face

I already have a business name registered with the state I live in, but i really appreciate that!

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your support

Thank you 🙏 and it definitely is a busy road so I am glad everyone can use the sidewalk again

I am in West Texas so we will be 100 degrees for most of the summer! Thank you 🙏 for the kind words. I appreciate your support

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate you being here!

Thanks 🙏 for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate that

Cleanups like this definitely produce a ton of vegetation to clean up and it’s hard to believe exactly how much until you see it! Thank you 🙏 for watching

Unfortunately the city code states that the homeowner is responsible for maintaining 6 feet out from the property line, but I do agree that when it became a safety hazard they should have cleaned it up. Thanks 🙏 for your support

That would help out here. They say it’s to save tax payer dollars but we are responsible for keeping the alley and everywhere else 6 feet past the property line maintained. A program like that would really benefit those in need here

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I definitely went and bought a safety vest 🦺 after this one! Thanks 🙏 for watching

I am definitely going to buy a safety vest and some cones before I do another one by this road! Thanks 🙏 for your support

They definitely were the biggest part of making this sidewalk unusable, and luckily I had my hedge trimmers with me to cut them down. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Thank you 🙏 and to answer your question I do believe they should have stepped in before it got this bad, but there is a city code that states the homeowner (on the other side of the fence) is responsible for maintaining the alley and in this case the part next to the sidewalk out 6 feet from the property line. So basically the city is saying it’s the homeowners responsibility to do it

Sir you did a great job. Went way above and beyond. ​@@DereksLawnRescue

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that

I definitely bought a hi-vis safety vest 🦺 after this! Thanks 🙏 for watching

It’s actually a weird situation. The city technically owns it but there is a code that apparently saves tax payer dollars and requires the homeowner to maintain 6 feet out past the property line. Basically the city owns it but the homeowner on the other side of the fence is responsible for it

Unfortunately where I live there is a city code 📝 that states the homeowner on the other side of the fence is responsible for maintaining the area in the alley (and in this case by the sidewalk) 6 feet past the property line. On the other side it’s easily 30 feet from the fence to the street so the city does take care of that. I do think for safety reasons they should have seen it and fixed it. Thanks 🙏 for watching though I appreciate that

It really was dangerous and I am glad that we all were able to help! Thank you 🙏 for your support

I definitely learned that I need a mask today while filming the next video when I had a gust of wind blow all the dirt back in my face. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Close! I am in West Texas

I agree that they should keep it safe for people to use because walking in a busy street is obviously not safe. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Yeah it’s a very busy road and they don’t slow down unless a cop sits there and is scanning with a radar. Thanks 🙏 for watching and leaving a comment

While yes in this case I agree they should take care of this area the city has a code that states we are responsible for maintaining the alley (and in this case the part next to the sidewalk) out 6 feet from the property line. Unfortunately when I asked they basically told me that we are saving tax payer dollars and that it’s the homeowner’s responsibility

Once the city puts the sidewalk in, it becomes city property to maintain. They're just bullying homeowners.

I agree. They say it saves tax dollars but my taxes keep going up so I am not sure where the savings have been. I am just glad we could help

lol I actually already went back once. I think with it raining last Monday I will have to go again in a week or 2. Thanks 🙏 for watching

I was given an idea to put out cones and I am going to do that going forward for safety. Thanks 🙏 for watching

Thank you 🙏

Unfortunately where I am located there is a city code that states homeowners are responsible for maintaining 6 feet out past the property line. Basically this code makes it the issue of the homeowner on the other side of the fence. Thank you 🙏 for watching

@@DereksLawnRescue merci pour votre réponse qui d'une certaine manière me conforte dans l'idée qu'à la base, les propriétaires ne veulent pas payer avec leurs impôts l'entretien des espaces verts de la commune et donc pour éviter que les espaces verts soient négligés et donne une mauvaise image de la ville, Les élus de la ville ont décidé que c'était aux habitants eux-mêmes d'entrenir la portion tout autour de leur propriété qu'ils soient riches ou pauvres ou jeunes ou vieux ou encore handicapés. Une curieuse notion d'égalité devant la Loi.

Unfortunately this has been a code here since before I was old enough to vote. We do pay taxes here and I definitely wish that they would tell us where the money is spent
