Existing Improvements Need Care

After reading about the new public art that is coming, I can’t help but wonder about some of the improvements we already have installed that need care and attention. Trees that we have planted, especially near Safeway and The Habit are dripping on the sidewalks, making them sticky and dirty. The blocks of stone, installed along the boulevard, as seating, are dirty. Many have graffiti. Who takes care of these things, that are becoming eye sores? Where can these issues be reported? Why do we put in more, if we can’t maintain what we have already?
