The new walkway from Kyoto does need some tlc

I thought of the exact same thing as I begin to see the weeds overtaking the oldest plantings....but with everything that has happened here in the last week I do understand that maintaining this has dropped in priority. Seems to me that unless someone is hired to keep this clean and weeded; a group of volunteers is needed. Rob; can volunteers do what might be a paid city employees job?

Personally I don't see why not, but knowing my compatriotas mexicanos surely there will be some folks complaining that you are taking away their livelihood even if the city isn't currently providing proper maintenance. But maybe it'll work. The problem is few foreigners are here year round, and the rainy season when things really grow is just around the corner.
