And you are really, really, REALLY going to destroy the wonderful flowering trees in front of the market? If true, that is wrong on so many levels.
If you go by there now, as I did this very day, you will discover they are just starting to bud out and show us their splendor.
Just leave them. It would be so easy.
I don’t have time to read the original specs, but I sure hope more parking will happen. One knows that angle parking in many places is the answer, as long as the many years in the making blossoming trees can remain. It doesn’t matter how useful, attractive, or updated a road scape is, if no one can park and enjoy E.S., it’s no use…..
Thank you to the leaders in San Juan County who made this project a priority long ago.
This will be one small step in making out community safely accessible to ALL of our community members. I’m willing to sacrifice a few pieces of non-native landscaping if it means that we will have a primary corridor of town that is finally safe to use.
