Resident urges council to address long‑running ditch maintenance on Moore Street
Summary
Betty Thomas, a longtime Moore Street resident, asked the council to inspect and provide periodic cutting of a deep, overgrown corner ditch she has maintained for decades, saying it affects property appearance and is difficult to mow.
During the public‑comment period, Betty Thomas, who identified herself as a resident at 7216 Moore Street, asked the council to inspect and maintain a deep, overgrown corner ditch that she and her family have been maintaining for about 50 years.
Thomas said the ditch is on a slope and has grown so deep it requires special care to mow; she asked that the commissioner and street supervisor visit the site and provide mowing assistance about once every one to three months, particularly after rainy periods when weeds grow rapidly. She described the physical effort required to maintain the ditch and asked for city help to preserve the appearance and safety of her property.
No direct staff commitment or formal council response to her request is recorded in the transcript excerpt.
