Main Street streetscape needs to be finished, pronto!

Mayor Larry Morrissey has heralded the opening of Main Street to traffic. One cheer, hooray.

Now, mayor, can you please have your slow-as-molasses-crats finish the job? There are big flower boxes that are supposed to have — FLOWERS — in them. Instead, they have weeds.

Would it be really, really hard to have some garden aficionados donate a Saturday to filling the boxes with black dirt and planting flowers — before it’s Halloween? You won’t even have to pay for the materials. I know a guy who can get the stuff donated. You know him, too.

Also, at the south end of the two-block “street-scape,” in front of the long-dormant Soda Bar, another city-owned vacant building, there’s just rough blacktop on the sidewalk. This part of the street-scape must have escaped.

The longer this project goes unfinished, the more ammunition the CAVE people will have for their contention that downtown is a sink hole where money just disappears for no good reason.

C’mon,  let’s get ‘er done. Otherwise, you never know what might happen.  A midnight flower planting raid might occur.

Hey, I’m just sayin.’
