The edges of the roadways are intended to be mowed to 10 on the regular mowing cycle. A view of unmowed grasses behind a mott. Much of the grasses consists of KR Bluestem and some Bermudagrass but a large amount of Sideoats Gramma and other native species are present. These large motts are doing well alongside a drainage channel. These motts hide the bridge columns well but the interface with the guardrail is problematic.
Hand trimming still needs to be performed.
Contractors with chemical sprays damaged some desirable plants while spraying weeds at the rail posts. With the exception of some spots of Johnsongrass, most of the grasses consisted of short species. The result is grassland of fairly uniform height that we think aids in public acceptance of taller vegetation in this urban area.
