He was concerned that the way it is laid out may not be <br />practical for our people to maintain. While he hoped we continue <br />to landscape such roads, he felt there may be a lesson to be <br />learned from the standpoint of maintenance about the type of <br />plantings to use and in what kind of clusters, etc. He wished to <br />know who is responsible for this maintenance, and Engineer Ralph <br />Brescia advised that it is Road S Bridge and Parks. <br />52 <br />... <br />Bo®K 731VUL19 <br />
