Letter: Parkway Mowing Problem

By James Roberts

I think it's a disgrace that the mowing of the Cumberland Parkway hasn't been done. It's almost June and nothing! We've gone through two major holidays and still not done.

There are weeds, especially poison hemlock that are several feet high and most have gone to seed. We had a local company that was contracted to mow it at one time. Don't know what happened there. Can't blame the weather for not mowing. We've had several nice days to get it done.

Local elected officials need to contact Frankfort on the matter. If someone is getting paid to mow and they're not doing the job, then that is an important issue. -James
