Alert | | What is that stuff they spread on the median on the 347, is it seed? | | A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. -Thomas Jefferson | |

Alert | | That would be nice. The only problem I see is that if they spread seed that means there will be no guide rail installed anytime in the next few years. | | | |

Alert | | I know back east they spread that same blue green stuff and it does have seed! Jhall, I thought the same thing. I was wondering why they would waste tax payers dollars on that and not completely clean the whole median prior to planting seed!!! It wouldn't surprise me! | | Live every day as if it were your last and smile! | |

Alert | | They don't seed the medians or shoulders. Probably a weed killer. | | | |

Alert | | Ah, must be limitation of the system ADOT uses. Maybe not enough characters to describe it, so they used seeding. | | Joined: Jul 2005 | |

Alert | Just weed killer? Darn. Well, there went Desert Dweller's latest enterprise. When I heard it was grass seed, I made plans to buy a couple of really big riding lawnmowers and soak ADOT for mowing the median. I was looking into attaching a photo radar camera to each one and collecting from DPS and Redflex too.
Oh well. | | Stupid should hurt!
