Glasgow City Council Directs Downtown Business Owner To Repair Sidewalk Surrounding Property

At the regular Glasgow City Council meeting on Nov. 4, the Glasgow City Council voted to direct the Rundle Suites to repair the sidewalk surrounding their property according to City of Glasgow Code.

The sidewalk surrounding the Rundle Suites is uneven and has several cracks which the city has determined to be a danger to the public walking on those portions of the sidewalk.

Glasgow Ordinance details the that if any property owner does not keep the sidewalks in reasonable repair, the City Council may order the property owner to place the sidewalk in proper condition. The City Council shall give to the property owner written notice that he shall immediately repair the sidewalk surrounding the property within 30 days, or the city itself will repair the sidewalk and assess the costs of repair against the property owner and the property.

A letter from the City of Glasgow will be sent to the owner of the Rundle Suites and they will have 30 days to respond to the communication from the city.
