If Mr. Teboul really cared about the community, he might have included a new public sidewalk on that side of the street. Maybe even with some flowers or plantings. That would have shown concern for the community.

But a concrete wall at the edge of the lot line? Really? Who approved that?


We thought the same thing, walked back from dinner and felt like it was a tunnel! We took the “death trap” sidewalk - just have to really pay attention when it’s dark to miss the holes and not kiss the steps! Sidewalk and plantings would have been lovely but nope - just another fortress to keep people out!
