Hello - I'm concerned about the use of the herbicide glyphosate on our city medians and on the B-Line Trail. Please stop using this chemical immediately - it's killing bees. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y1sdsyIWCfovyoTuvyMWRLRQyn0z1P5O5ntTM1MOct8/pubhtml?gid=216428649&single=true I understand it reduces the manual labor involved in weed removal, but when measured against the environmental impact on vulnerable species, I don't think its use can be defended. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/09/common-weed-killer-believed-harmless-animals-may-be-harming-bees-worldwide Thank you for your time.
