Growth on median causes hazard for drivers
A resident this week complained that some extreme weed growth on
a San Felipe Road median, at Flynn Road, is causing a hazard. It
inhibits the view of drivers at the spot, and the city’s public
works department is aware of the problem.
Growth on median causes hazard for drivers
A resident this week complained that some extreme weed growth on a San Felipe Road median, at Flynn Road, is causing a hazard. It inhibits the view of drivers at the spot, and the city’s public works department is aware of the problem.
The machine used to cut weeds on medians, though, is in the repair shop. Marcelo Orta with the city’s streets division noted how the “weed hog” – which looks like a riding lawn mower – is in a local repair shop. The mechanic is waiting for some parts, but once it is repaired, the city plans to take care of the weeds at the median.
The city has a second mower for weeds, but that one does not work well on medians because it cannot cut the ditch areas, Orta said.
“Otherwise, we have it on the schedule,” Orta said.
