Editor,

In a never-ending effort to separate homeowners from their money, San Bruno goes it one further with its sidewalk repair program called “Clearpath.”

I agree with the poster in principle. Municipal codes that automatically assign blame and therefore cost to damage to or by city owned and constructed property are dead wrong. Living on a street that has design flaws that has been dug up many times and repaired poorly (not to mention unseen damage to adjacent houses), I've seen how city organized construction has left damage to sidewalks and tripping hazards from poorly installed utilities, for which the city assigns liability to us homeowners. If I had a tree or a truck of my own that damaged a city sidewalk, I would expect to pay for it, naturally. But when the city is the source or direct cause of that or leaves a hazard THEY should pay for that. Same goes for city water and sewer lines. Time for a legal change all over to such codes.
