You call that art?

To the editor:

I don’t want to “tweet,” I just want to comment. I keep looking at the redesigned public land at Northeast Weidler Street and 102nd Avenue and find it very lacking. I have not spoken to one person who likes the poles standing up in the air! What kind of artwork has been foisted upon us? It would have looked better and been much cheaper to leave the beautiful cherry tree in the middle. Do we ever have a say about art designs that people are placing in our neighborhoods? It appears that there was no thought for the residents who drive by there everyday and have to look at that!

My next comment is about the designing of many weed patches to line Northeast 102nd Avenue, Sandy Boulevard, and other spots. How can it be responsible budgeting to design a place for weeds to grow and not budget someone to weed them?!! Once again, it would be better to not spend the money in the first place than to create a weed patch to be uninspired by every time one passes!
