The streetscape improvements in the Warehouse Districts are great, however, we need the landscaping to be maintained on a regular basis so the showcase the City rather than looking like a weed patch. My campaign is to have a designated organization responsible for the continued beautification of our City by maintaining our current landscape boxes and install new ones throughout the entire downtown, especially on the pedestrian corridors like SW Washington Street.

I would also love to see a ' blend ' of traditional floral and other botanicals (ex: perrenials, rosebushes, tulips, etc.). Most current plantings are too monochromatic, lacking color and visual appeal. Our so-called ' native plants ' have become overgrown and unkempt. The city should look into and solicit some type of quasi public/private sector adoption fund just for plantings and maintenance.
