After an army of oversized loads, curbing is crushed - but who pays?

 

A intermittent caravan of well over a dozen oversized loads (large modulars on flatbeds) passed through Columbia during the past week, heading west on Route 462. In the process, the curbing at the corner of North 5th and Chestnut was severely damaged. The question now is, Who pays to repair the damage? Columbia Borough has traditionally held that the owner of the adjacent property is responsible for maintaining sidewalks, curbs, etc.
