Crew Chief Cuts away Iron Grate to Prevent Girdling
Summer students Prepare the Beds and add Fabric for Weed Prevention
The Finished Product complete with pea stone.A Public Works crew will be busy for the next couple of weeks as they tend to the needs of street trees along Wyandotte street in Old Walkerville (See post - Wakerville BIA District Looking Tired - 2007/06/04). http://themayorofmonmouth.blogspot.com/2007/06/walkerville-bia-district-looking-tired.html They have already started to adjust the grates to prevent further girdling of the trees and they are cleaning them out and adding pea gravel. They actually look pretty good. One might ask why the Public Works Department is taking care of this as opposed to the Parks Department. Probably because they have the tools and skills to cut the iron grates away from the trees. It would be nice to see the Parks Department follow up by replacing the missing and broken trees (hopefully of substantial trunk caliber). This is much needed maintenace for the area. Maybe the hanging flower baskets will re-appear soon as well.

Well what ya know about that!?! Now if you could just get them to clean up the Walker road corridor.
Wait a minute, I want the city to clean my street. Why should Wyandotte Street and Walker get preference over my street? I pay taxes just like you? Some people.
Nothing to do with taxes MH. All of the businesses and shops in each Business Improvement area pay monthley fees for these little extras. They have a limited budget so things like vandalism or cost hikes really hurt. What have you been doing since you left?
monmouth road hater?? Nice I like living on a city street that has an advisory/nemesis. So hater get off your ass get a blog and start putting your taxes to work.
What have you been doing since you left?
