Please, please find a solution that preserves our historic sidewalks. I die a little inside whenever I see the bricks replaced by asphalt. Salem is unique and historic, it's one of the main reasons people love it here and want to live here. Don't destroy that for cheap solutions and "trends".

the brick sidewalks are so charming and I would never want to lose the historic feel they bring, so repairs are definitely needed to make them safer for all!!

I love walking in Salem but it is not only hazardous in some areas, it isn't passable by some people who cannot maneuver the sidewalks that are in bad condition. The brick sidewalks are worth saving and a beautiful part of Salem. Hope there is a way to get the funding to take care of this.

What a stellar effort! The city isn't noted for its maintenance generally, and brick has been something for which residents have had to fight and defend. What we have left should be preserved wherever it is. It adds so much charm and character to Salem.
