Rangeline medians are full of nothing but weeds while the sides of the road stay mowed by the property owners. It looks derelict. This goes at all the way up to and including the roundabout at Route VV.

Tall weeds that block driver's view or interfere with emergency response is ridiculous. Keep the weeds cut low or enterprising trial attorneys will make the city pay.

Possibly the most asinine waste of taxpayer money in this century. Someone should post a picture of the 60+ "No " mow" signs they put up on Scott near Thornbrook. Incompetence at best. Am I being too kind?

Yes. Tell us how you really feel.

Steve Baumann

One of the most asinine wastes of taxpayer money I have ever witnessed. Does anyone have a picture of when they put about 100 "No mow" signs on south Scott Blvd near Thornbrook? Uh oh, I better chill .....

MOVE NO MOW ZONES AWAY FORM ROADS AND MAKE THAT AREA LEFT TURN LANES. MOVE THE NO MOW ZONES TO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MOWING IT.

Harry D

That makes too much sense, never happen in Columbia and it is the city council's fault, not the street department.

People need to call 311 to report unsafe pedestrians, aka panhandlers, on the medians.

Harry D

P.S. So called "pedestrian safety groups" are mostly wacked out liberals who have no common sense, who are soft on crime, and facilitate mentally ill people living on the streets and in the woods, where bad things happen to them, like being thrown off bridges.

Vanessa Vaughan

I like it become panhandlers have sat or laid down on the concrete medians with their legs and feet so close to vehicles and I for one wax afraid I might accidentally run over them. I have also had some get aggressive if you don't give them money. I won't either. It's just safer for all

They are already illegal and we do not need any more laws. We need existing laws to be enforced. Remember the expired temp tags and license plates? Maybe we should also have a law against them. Oh, wait, we do, what happened there? I remember, do you? This is surreal.

They don't need banned. They do need to be licensed and insured like any other motorized vehicle.

Derek Estes

Because some people can't afford to get a car and a mini bike is a cheap way to get around town no different from an electric scooter as long as they're not loud and obnoxious.

Michelle Awaranti

Because there's nothing fun to do in jeff city and when people find something to do it is taken away its enjoyable to ride motor bikes and its also transportation for others
