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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Currently this section of Frager Road is supposedly under an &#8220;adopt-a-roadway&#8221; litter program. There is a sign that says this section of road has been adopted by the &#8220;WITH Church.&#8221; Well, after months of never seeing anybody from the &#8220;WITH Church&#8221; picking up litter along Frager Road, I did a Google search and found no record what so ever of a &#8220;WITH Church&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>When the new section of road is built I hope there will be dedicated bike lanes marked on the road also.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><strong>\u2013 Reese Dengler<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regarding: &#8220;Kent gets $717,255 grant to help with Green River flood protection, salmon habitat&#8221; (Kent Reporter, July 17):<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-8827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8827"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8827\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8827"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=8827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
