If you get a letter from the City of Rochester, Minnesota, saying the sidewalk in front of your home needs repairs and here s the cost,
your first call shouldn t be to the Rochester Public Works Department because you could end up with a $100.00 charge.

Today, Rochester s 5th Ward Councilmember Shaun C Palmer was on Rochester Today. We were talking about various things, then the topic of sidewalk and street assessments came up.
James Rabe: We re talking about assessments and boy, is it a hot topic on social media in person, people get really annoyed when they see that they have to pay X number of dollars for (fixing) a sidewalk.
