Report Details
AI-generated, reviewed by reporter
Large tree roots have displaced and cracked the sidewalk across roughly 2-3 meters, creating an upward buckle with exposed soil and roots that poses a trip hazard. Mud accumulates in the area due to a drainage issue, and the reporter notes the sidewalk should be reconstructed at a higher elevation to address both the root damage and water pooling.
Description
Mud consistently accumulates in this area due to a drainage issue. The sidewalk need to be redone at a higher elevation.
