Hi, I ride my bike to work from Tamarron to North Walnut. Usually I take the bike route, including the Grimshaw Trail beside the train tracks, then cross the Bypass to Eastgate. Because of the construction on the Bypass, Eastgate is now closed, but there is no warning until you actually get there, which is very inconvenient. I also don't know how else I can get to my destination without either going all way down to 3rd, which would add about 10 minutes to my trip in each direction, or take my life into my hands by riding on 10th (I know, I know, the spandex brigade do this, but at 49 I've moved beyond the "live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" philosophy). What I would like to know, is how can I get to work safely if I can't go from the Grimshaw Trail over to Eastgate, and why do you not warn cyclists a little earlier (like say at Pete Ellis Drive and maybe Union Street on the other side) that Eastgate is closed so we don't waste even more time heading in that direction? Thanks, Gerry Matthews

Nothing urgent, but I walk past the lawn at City Hall each day and see ways that it could be "greener". - The crews mow at a very low height. If grass is mowed higher the blades shade the soil, keeping the roots cooler and more healthy. It also keeps sunlight from hitting the soil, which prevents weed seeds from germinating, which reduces the need for pesticides. - The crews remove the clippings. Using a mulching mower returns the clippings to the lawn system, reducing the need for fertilizer. It's also less work to not have to empty the mower bag. - The grass was mowed yesterday. Today (Friday 5/18) much of the lawn has a silvery color to it. If you look at the grass blades in these areas you'll see that the tips are shredded instead of being cleanly cut. This means that the mower blade is so dull that it's ripping rather than cutting. The shredded grass blades are more susceptible to disease than cleanly cut ones. Just my 2 cents, thanks for listening, Rich Pierce

I just passed Highway 46 and Walnut. As Walnut comes into town (near McDonalds on the North side) the street lanes are being painted. The painting on Walnut is crazy as there is a giant unused space that will not be used by motorist. They will instead do as they are today and use this area to expedite there dirve to the turn lanes. Someone needs to check this out ASAP.
