We are really not in favor of having the city invade our front yard with a sidewalk and hope to convince them it's certainly not in our or their best interest. It's a rather long story and I won't bore you with the details but I feel you have provided valuable information that may help us build on our defense. It's a relief to know that the trees can survive but on the other hand if the new roots lift the sidewalk the responsibility for repair and maintenance belongs with us, the home owner (by city ordinance). Thanks again. Pat – Thank you so much for taking the time to respond in such clear and thorough detail.
