• This curb cut in a sidewalk at ta crosswalk in St. Petersburg was under repair in September 2016. The combination of frequent freezing and thawing of water trapped around the bricks, combined with the heavy traffic of a crosswalk, causes the bricks to heave, shift and deteriorate. Concrete and plastic barriers protect the work area from traffic. A dark blue Audi car enters the image at the upper left.
