River Walk

I often walk on the Cardinal/Greenway trail. Yesterday I walked on the city walkway near Matter Park. I was sad to see the condition of the walkway. This was once a great pride point for Marion. Now, most of the Wood Decks, and stairways are closed and broken. It would take very little money to fix these, compared to the great wastes in other areas this city is involved in.

Some of the areas had weeds so tall you had to come to the center of the walkway to
pass without being struck by weeds. All in all, I'd give the city poor grades on keeping the walkway in order.

They will no doubt say budget restraints have caused this. I will of course say spend our money wisely. Quit giving raises to people who are not keeping our city in order.

Maintenance is as important as new...whatever!

How does a city that does not take care of its weeds have the audacity to cite and fine home owners for weed violations?
