Dawn Hewitt, Roger Kalter, and I met with Steve Wetz and Jeff Skinner,
Marietta's safety services director and his assistant. When I asked him
about areas, his answer was basically "what do you want to do and what area
do you want?" We have his approval for planting a roughly 250x35-foot swath
of city-owned riverbank along the 500 block of Fort Street. He suggests the
riverbank across from Gilman United Methodist as a good site for a charging
station and has offered the city light post if we want to elevate the solar
panels for security reasons. There is a staircase leading down from Fort
Street, and he has said that the city should be able to put in a handrail.
His request for our planting plan--a long season of bloom.

 

I also spoke with Mark Swaney, the neighbor who has been maintaining that
area, about the weed-whacking schedule.

 

Mr. Wetz is putting me on the schedule for the Lands, Buildings, and Parks
committee meeting tomorrow. If the committee passes our proposal on to the
full council and they approve it, we are good to go!

 

Will send more details later, but I have an ILR class right now.

 

Rebecca
