One more reason to love this town

This is not a City function, the State (MN-DOT) is responsible for mowing, sweeping, and maintaining Mesaba Ave.   

Obviously the shutdown is one factor, but we have been frustrated with a lack of attention to these sort of maintenance responsibilities on their streets for a long time.

Thanks to the citizens for picking up the slack!

Yes!  I remember a similar discussion on PDD a year or two ago.  The reason that median doesn't fall into the City's court is because at that point, Mesaba is a state highway. (or something like that)  Right, Don?

Still, kudos to the neighbors who see a need and take action, instead of just whining about it.  It's easy to talk about doing something, and other thing entirely to actually do it.  ...Even if it is simply mowing a median.

Were these the same three guys who were mowing Wed night between 6-8p along Central Entrance below the Pawn America area (but over on the opposite side beneath the digital billboard just above the lights/entrance to Central?
