Shall we talk sidewalks?

I used to say that I didn't get just how bad Rutland's sidewalks were until I tried pushing a baby carriage over them. Watching a three-year-old trying to ride a bike on them is even scarier.

We got some good response to the post asking for problematic stoplights, so let's try sidewalks. What blocks could most use some attention?

I could complain for days. I don't spend much time walking in the city but I was running down Jackson Avenue the other day and I sort of enjoyed the sidewalks being so mismanaged and rutted, it sort of felt like running in a steeplechase. That being said, I think my workout was enhanced.
