SB 5972 is an excuse to discriminate

There is a much bigger problem in this area than this little florist shop. It seems Chase Bank Corp. can conduct business as they wish, and this means there are much bigger ramifications! They have refused to do business with people whom works at jobs outside their ideal and pristine world! (Google... chase bank-porn stars). If the law allows a huge conglomerate like Chase to discriminate against people with lawful income, and tell them that they can go to other banks to do business, then I would guess the law is going to side with this florist.... And tell this couple to go to somewhere else.

The argument between a little spray/weed maintenance and life safety is amazing!

City hall has to take aspects into consideration. All in all, the safety of you and your biking pals wins out! Pure and simple. They are getting the two modes of transportation apart. In the news, we see everyday somewhere is a car/bike accident. It just makes good sense to separate these two. Take your concerns about the weeds/goat heads to city hall, and see if you can get some help. Start a petition of your friends to ask for some maintainance and spray. Take it to city hall/ managers office. I am sure there are more than you that has concerns over these weeds. Fifty people on paper looks really convincing to somepeople. A few dollars for spray is needed, but your obviously going to lose this battle.

More bikes means there needs to be more safety measures.... Bike paths away from the cars/vehicals seems to be a safer way to go. Again, about your original complaint, go to City Hall and ask for somebody to apply some spray for goatheads. Or donate a gallon of 2,4D spray, that will go along ways......

Since my time on the links is very limited, I have not been up to speed on the course. Just curious, what was cause of the de-gradation? Lack of man power? Failure on a contractor?

We have this way of doing business on national levels, too.... How can a very large Bank chain disqualify people from doing business with them because they don't like their way of life? It is called choices! If you don't like a TV channel, stop watching that channel, don't sue to make the channel show programs that YOU want to see. If you don't like a car dealer, buy elsewhere. If you don't like the Catholic Church's teachings, find a Church that is comfortable for you. If your job is not what you want, look for a new one, and leave! If your gas station attendant is not doing his job, go somewhere else to buy gas. If a local diner/watering hole is serving young, noisy and loud teenagers, and it's not right for you, do you come back again, I am guessing not, next time, you are going to eat somewhere else.
.

My point is this.... If enough people quit shopping at this flower shop, she will close, (although rumors have it she got a boost in customers). She relies on customers and their money. Her "blood, sweat and tears" are in this shop, she has a right to operate it accordingly. Just like Chase Bank is needing customers money, but disqualifying people for their job and it income is they're right! Just pull your money out and change Banks! (Google... Chase Bank and Porn stars). And I bet there is some very heavy weight "leagle Eagles" trying to find out how the stop Chase Banks from doing this practice, but so far, the Chase is winning the battle!

Oldguy.... You are correct.... And they are being smart... They are separating to two modes of travel, by planning to make a bike path... Just like East Whitman (road behind Home Depot), SE 12th, Dallas Military Rd. Myra Rd, Poplar St, Prospect Rd. and Reser Rd, Just to name a few... One side a normal sidewalk, the other side wider for bikes to use. This seem to be the way of the future for this valley...

Also, If it is the weeds you are concerned with... I believe WW is part of the WA. ST. Dept. of Ag. Noxious weed program, which has a mandate to eradicate certain weeds, Puncture Vines (Goat Heads) are included in this. Call City Hall and ask questions. And if so, remind them of your issues.
