the parts in question are the sections where it's little square granite pavers cemented to the ground. turns out the cement is crap and it started breaking up 5 years after the pavers were installed in the 80's. (kudos on the masonry work.) within a decade everything will need to be replaced. i personally notice the problem mostly in the little ramps that go down from the sidewalk to the crosswalk. in other news, carpeting in downtown skyways is holding up just fine.
