OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Some property owners in a northwest Omaha neighborhood are scratching their heads about a segment of overgrown general public property.
A compact extend of widespread space that the city is liable for mowing has consistently been skipped.
As a city mowing contractor buzzes by across the avenue Michael Walter wonders why the popular area behind his household hasn’t built the reduce.
“They have not mowed it when this yr. And then it will make me seem bad simply because it’s ideal outdoors my property,” said Walter.
Right after a long time of metropolis crews preserving general public places in Willow Wood this summertime, the parks department employed a non-public contractor to mow. But a part on the corner and down all over behind about 6 homes have been skipped around and in excess of.
“I do not want to commence mowing this space outside my fence due to the fact then they’ll never ever do it. Then I’m trapped mowing this massive piece of property that is not mine, that I never have,” explained Walter.
Neighbor J.T. Eulberg suggests 4 periods missed previously this mowing time.
“It’s awful, it’s a mess,” explained Eulberg.
J.T. says the unmowed portion of the popular location is an eyesore mainly because it’s alongside a major entrance to the neighborhood with 800 households.
With the median and park freshly mowed, J.T. asks what is mistaken with this image? So he lately requested the mowing crew why did they skip most of the frequent place on the north side of the street.
“They seemed on their phone and mentioned properly it’s not on the map. I do not know who gave them the map of what to mow,” stated Eulberg.
The mowing crew would only say the metropolis presented them with a map and numerous community regions are not on it.
Omaha’s parks director says we have previously labored with our contractor on correcting these concerns. The parts that had been skipped have been tackled.
He suggests the contractor is new to the locale and it can just take some time at the start of the time to make sure every little thing is effectively in put. Neighbors like J.T. Eulberg are increasing impatient.
“I want them to get it mowed, which is all,” stated Eulberg.
The crew was still left messages but their manager did not reply.
Even so, various spots not on the city map and missed have now been mowed. The portion 6 News proven along the entrance has nevertheless to be lower but we’ll examine on it Friday.
