The only thing I want to comment on is the “dead trees”. Those are on private property and the city cannot do anything about those. You’d have to appeal to the property owners. However, if you have any interest in nature, dead trees are needed by wildlife. Your eyesore is something’s home.

I would agree with the advice from Mr. Trew at the city council meeting. Get a group together and go out and clean up the area yourself! THere have been several community clean-ups in town. The service department will supply orange vests and pick up sticks, safety cones and the collect the garbage that is bagged.

Put out some signs, call the boys scouts or girl scouts and plan a clean -up. Take the initiative, be proactive. The group could even sow some sunflower seeds or wildflowers along the road.

You can’t pave the road but youcan improve the looks of the roadway!

When will people stop looking to the government to solve their problems?

Good! pave the road then everyone can go 50 mph on it too!

That area is kinda the Bermuda Triangle of Aurora.

Really, Cochran Rd should have been continued North thru to Aurora Lake Rd. and on to Rt 43. It would have relieved traffic and would have made city access much better. But that would have involved planning and good city management years ago.
