From outside the box

I was driving down W. 8th Ave. this morning and couldn't help but notice how neglected the roundabout's have been. When they were building those a few years ago, I mentioned that they were just glorified flower pots. I was wrong....they don't even have flowers! Personally, I don't like roundabout's but since we got em, we should keep them up. The city spent millions upgrading W. 8th Ave., it doesn't make sense to leave these things go to weeds.

Why doesn't the city promote an "adopt a roundabout" program, like we do with stretches of freeway? A particular business would adopt a roundabout for a certain period of time, keep them clean with pretty things growing, and in return, the business gets to put up a sign on the roundabout.
