After the meeting I talked with Susan Fuchs (City of St. Petersburg) regarding the maintenance of the planted median strips along 40th Avenue and 1st Street. She said that because of the liability involved only city employees can weed them. So we just have to keep an eye on them and if they become overgrown we can contact her and she will take care of it. What we as homeowners are responsible for are the weeds that grow along our curbs and sidewalks. The city does not maintain them and will not do any kind of weed control. Susan also said that the city only does street sweeping in our neighborhood twice a year. So please do not blow leaves and grass clippings into the street. The rain washes them into the sewer lines and causes drainage to slow down . Thanks for your help in these areas!
Let’s keep our neighborhood looking good!
