landscaping

RENO -- It's the nature of baseball. Former Western Nevada College star Brian Barnett and Carson City's Jesse Rasner played well enough for the University of Nevada baseball team, but in the end it wasn't good enough.
 
For both Barnett and Rasner, each were pondering one at-bat that left them thinking about what could have been. And the end result was a 6-4 win in 12 innings for San Jose State against Nevada on Sunday at Peccole Park. The Spartans avoided the four-game sweep after the Wolf Pack won the first three games of the series.

First, it's not in Fuji Park at all. It's behind the Carson City Fairgrounds, on the other side of the river, back where everyone can see it from the highway but you'll need signs and arrows to tell you how to get there. This could have been so much better if it was over by the grassy area of the park itself, maybe even built so that Clear Creek flows through it.

I think this is great! Hopefully the taggers and vandals will leave it alone. Doubt it, though.

That is a great point about ongoing maintenance. I believe that this is one of the rare grants that indeed maintenance was included.

How nice. But has any grant money been secured for upkeep and maintainence? These structures will be irresistable and will be damaged, defaced and tagged nightly.

After years of planning and searching out grants, Carson City’s new freeway will soon have a freeway landscaping design like no other in the country. Part 2

The freeway landscaping is being paid for out of federal highway frunds. Not local Carson City tax dollars.

I agree. Gibbons is considering a plan that would result in shutting down our community colleges and stopping all university athletics in the state, but we have money to decorate a freeway?

Where is the funding for this project coming from? Considering the state of the economy, should we be worried about landscaping?

Although the first public meeting on landscaping our freeway has come and gone, there are more upcoming opportunities to get in your two cents…

It’ll be something (for some of us) we will have to look at for decades. So have your say about how the landscaping for the Carson City Freeway ought to look.
