Resume mowing
Why has Buffalo Grove turned most of the water retention ponds into urban forestry?
I have lived out here for over 48 years. If my neighbors grew weeds on their lawns that are over a foot tall, they would get fined by the village or county. Buffalo Grove has weeds over 4 feet tall that makes the neighborhood look terrible.
Does the village need to save that much money by not mowing the retention ponds? I am embarrassed by the way they look.
When I give directions, I tell people to make a right turn after the weeds from the runoff area. It really looks bad. Please spend the money and bring back the mowed retention ponds. The weeds from the retention ponds are really bad for people with allergies.
