Grass clippings, debris ordinance up for debate
The Bowie City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on April 22 reviewing several items of new business.
An ordinance intended to address grass and debris in streets within the city will be examined. The proposed regulation would regulate the disposal of grass clippings and debris in the streets, alleys, rights-of-way.
City Manager Bert Cunningham said this issue of weeds and grass and their resulting impact on city streets and curbing was pointed out by the street and code departments.
“It is almost entire weeds or Bermuda grass that gets into the joints next to the curb and streets and grows. It gets larger and swells like a tree root next to your driveway. It is hard on the streets as well as unsightly and a maintenance issue,” said the manager.
