Thank you <br />Betty Solek <br />1101 N Franklin Ave <br />LOUISVILLE <br />Email sent to council members: <br />"I noticed a contractor spraying herbicide on the city medians along S Boulder Rd this week. <br />Why does the city continue to use this practice? I do not observe "noxious" weeds on these strips <br />of landscape and the medians are trimmed and mowed very aggressively. Why is the herbicide <br />being used? The medians are designed to "shed" water, both rain and irrigation water. The water <br />coming off the medians then travels over the streets to the city's storm sewer system and then <br />very efficiently delivered to the streams. <br />The city storm sewer rates were raised again this year. Thus, we are paying more for storm sewer <br />infrastructure and education about protecting our streams from pollutants delivered by the storm <br />sewer. It is frustrating to see the city continue to use the practice of herbicide spraying on the <br />medians since this is the sort of practice which creates pollutants for the streams in our area." <br />6 <br />
