Sidewalks in Del Monte Park? That just ruins the character of the place.
On the east side of the church property, new houses — and a new sidewalk — have been built, and the Rev. Chuck Davis, pastor of the church, sees the writing on the wall.
Terry O’Connell, Davis’ neighbor but not a Church of Christ member, said the new sidewalk is built at an angle that would require the church “to give up a sizable piece of its property” to merge the sidewalks.
He said city street supervisor Emilio Alcaraz said the city plans to require sidewalk construction whenever property owners seek permits for reconstruction or remodeling their homes or businesses if they don’t already have a sidewalk.
