“And then I'm looking at the one in Washington Park. So the good thing is it's helping with traffic. But, I mean, initially, it's also helping with beautification. But what I'm seeing is that over time, the maintenance is not there, right? And so... You know, I think we need to, whether it's our arborist or we need to talk about what plants go into these roundabouts that may need less maintenance so that they can continue to be, you know, beautification for our city and not an eyesore. Second, in Windward on 10th Avenue, that roundabout, needs a complete makeover. The roundabout itself is…”
