Harris Riverfront Park, 5/5/05

Harris Riverfront Park is looking better now that community volunteers are taking care of it. I was down there yesterday around noon. The grass needs to be cut, but the flowers are wonderful.

The parts down by the river still look rough. . .

. . . but now that we've had the last high water of late winter/early spring, things should look good, assuming someone hoses the mud off the concrete.

The volunteers are doing a good job, but they shouldn't have to. The city should have been doing this all along. Sooner or later the volunteers will burn out. Here's hoping the city will have stepped in and started doing its job at the park by then.
