Regarding: “Kent gets $717,255 grant to help with Green River flood protection, salmon habitat” (Kent Reporter, July 17):
I was glad to read about the subject grant and see the plans for Downey Farmstead Restoration.
I retired at the end of April 2013, and since then I began to ride my bike more and along the Green River Trail almost every day. With the rerouting of Frager Road for the Downey Farmstead Restoration I look forward to a new section of roadway that will initially be free of litter. The litter along this section of road is particularly bad, especially before the grass gets tall.
Currently this section of Frager Road is supposedly under an “adopt-a-roadway” litter program. There is a sign that says this section of road has been adopted by the “WITH Church.” Well, after months of never seeing anybody from the “WITH Church” picking up litter along Frager Road, I did a Google search and found no record what so ever of a “WITH Church” in our area? So I hope after the Downey Farmstead Restoration is completed that the city of Kent will find a real organization to adopt this section of Frager Road.
When the new section of road is built I hope there will be dedicated bike lanes marked on the road also.
