Question:

Just following up on my question a few weeks ago re: the erosion concerns for the newly installed Raintree sidewalks… THANK YOU for a lovely job! We really enjoy the new sidewalks with their beautiful curbs and neatly tamped/planted earth! What a pleasure it is to have a safe way to walk around our neighborhood. The jury’s out a bit on the ecological sidewalks – hoping they last as long as the traditional ones – but now that the earth around it has been carefully packed and planted, erosion does not seem like it will be an issue. What an upgrade to our area!

Thank you for a job well done!

Gratefully

Response from Mayor Coles:

I‘m happy you are satisfied with the new sidewalks. Change can be difficult to accept at times, but the concept behind these is beneficial to the environment and will provide decades of service.

I will sleep better knowing that our residents now have a safe way to get back and forth and no longer need to walk along a busy street.

Ray
