Ron Fonger of The Flint Journal reports:
"When the state spent nearly $3 million on dramatic gardens, new trees, special fences and streetlights designed to give people a good first impression of Flint, it expected the city would keep things looking good"But just days into the first summer with the face-lift, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation said he's already planning to give the city a friendly reminder about living up to its end of the maintenance bargain.
"People who drive around the I-69 entrances and exits to Saginaw Street in downtown have noticed that area already is looking unkempt in spots, with weeds scattered among the flowers and grass getting shaggy."
