To the Editor:

Four years ago, the village constructed a concrete sidewalk on Altamont Boulevard. There had been an asphalt sidewalk there. They came to within 150 feet of finishing the sidewalk. So my house and my next-door neighbor have nothing but a crumbled, with-holes sidewalk in front of our two houses. I asked why the village had not finished and the answer was they ran out of funds.

The next year, it was not finished. The traffic on Altamont Boulevard; more than 50 percent of the cars speed in the 30-mile-per-hour zone. People and children walk on the edge of the road. Some residents in Altamont Oaks homes do not have cars and must use the sidewalk.

The next year — three now — the sidewalk was not finished. The historic signs used the funds?

The fourth year, a grant was given to put new sidewalks on Grand Street. So this year our sidewalk was not finished again.

I have lived in Altamont for 63 years and feel neglected, ignored as the new sidewalks in the rest of the village are completed.
