The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Team up with local garden orgs and make a pollinator garden in the greens that line the bike/ped walkway. There are certain areas that could use investment to widen the way as well - very tight in a section that could be a disaster if not addressed.
Who it helps and why
A bike path next to a major highway is noisy and polluted. Adding some greenery gives a bit of beauty and clean air. Also - environmental goals.
