Residents urge native plantings along flood wall and request notice on Canada‑goose talks
Summary
Two residents used the public‑comment period to praise park upgrades, propose native, low‑mow plantings on steep flood‑wall sections, and to request advance notice when the Parks committee discusses Canada‑goose management.
Two residents spoke during audience participation at the Chillicothe City Council meeting.
Tana Sidris (415 Lundbeck Road) thanked the council for park upgrades and proposed converting steep, underused sections of the flood wall into native, low‑mow plantings. Sidris described the idea as a longer‑term project that would require planning, networking and fundraising and offered to help discuss and plan the effort with city staff.
"...seeing if we could utilize that space for native plants, flowering plants, low growing plants ... it would be more ecologically friendly," Sidris said, and offered to meet with staff to develop the idea further.
Dave White (179 Church Street) asked to be notified in advance of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Committee meetings where Canada‑goose management would be discussed so he could attend or offer input.
Council members and committee chairs acknowledged both comments; the Parks committee had previously discussed an art wall and is continuing to review options for Canada‑goose management.
