FRISCO PUBLIC WORKS IS TAKING CARE OF SIDEWALK 
ISSUES, ONE CUT AT A TIME. "IT ALLOWS US TO   
          [00:00:07]
ADDRESS TRIP HAZARDS FASTER." "SIDEWALK PRECISION CUTTING CAN TAKE A TRIP HAZARD UP TO  SAY 2 IN AND SLICE IT DOWN TO WHERE IT'S LEVEL 
TO THE ADJACENT SIDEWALK PAD NEXT TO IT AND THAT   ELIMINATES THAT TRIP HAZARD." THESE PROBLEMS ARE 
CREATED BY GROUND MOVEMENT, CAUSING THE SIDEWALK   TO BECOME UNEVEN AT JOINTS. THE CITY OF FRISCO 
HAS USED THIS METHOD TO FIX THESE TYPES OF ISSUES   FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS. "IT ALLOWS US TO COME IN, 
EVALUATE TRIP HAZARDS IN VARIOUS AREAS AND GET   TO THEM MUCH FASTER THAN REMOVING AND REPLACING 
THEM. IT'S COST EFFECTIVE. WE'RE BEING FISCALLY   RESPONSIBLE AND WE CAN JUST ADDRESS ISSUES A LOT 
FASTER WITH THIS METHOD." THE PROCESS TO ELIMINATE   A PROBLEM WITH THIS METHOD ALSO HAPPENS QUICKLY. 
"THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF A TRIP HAZARD IN ANYWHERE   FROM 10 TO 30 MINUTES DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF 
THE HAZARD. THEY'RE SLICING IT DOWN A LITTLE   BIT AT A TIME. IT SHAVES OFF, IT'S ALMOST LIKE, 
I COMPARE IT TO LIKE A MEAT CUTTER. YOU CAN   SEE IT COMING OFF IN THIN LAYERS." PUBLIC WORKS 
ALWAYS HAS AN EYE OUT FOR POTENTIAL PROBLEMS,   BUT RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY 
ISSUES. PLEASE CALL PUBLIC WORKS AT 972-292-5800 OR SEND AN EMAIL TO
