The new walkway from Kyoto to the end of the canal (sort of)

EXCERPT:

"We all know that no matter how nice something looks when it is first finished....It requires maintaining. We shall see what happens."

It appears to me, that the MAINTENANCE for the complete Parque Lineal, will be a FULL TIME JOB, for at least one person, if NOT two.
I'm wondering IF the funds exist to hire the personnel needed to do it?
Was that necessity even contemplated prior to it's construction?

Also, when we get one of the heavy rains, the "cutesy" looking decorations, being plants, decorative rocks, etc., might they get washed away?

Not being a landscape person but someone who looked fairly good at what was built, I would say that they have taken into account rains. Most places have been leveled and should accomodate rains. Floods...well that is a different thing.

Before they built this they did have a person or more who worked all the time cleaning up leaves as well as branches etc, so that may have been taken into account. We have already seen someone doing watering of the plants. Let's keep positive thoughts and maybe it will turn out better than other projects here have.
