A neighborhood sidewalk repair crew works on a sidewalk repair on January 7, 2020 in Denver, Colorado. The crew are with Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. The sidewalk repair program was launched in August of 2018. When Denver set out to take on its crumbling and shifting sidewalks for the first time in a sweeping program, officials opted for a methodical approach that would tackle each neighborhood, one by one. But 16 months later, the lone inspector dedicated to the job is still stuck in the program's first neighborhood, in a sliver of central Denver, and a backlog of repairs is waiting before the city moves onto the next neighborhood. The initiative likely will take much longer than intended to cover the rest of the city unless there are major changes. (Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
