This is what our tax dollars get us here in Franklin...shoddy maintenance. Oh and excuses too from the town administrator, who blamed this on the pandemic and having a hard time filling positions. At least that's what his email back to me claimed...
It's important to note that all these pictures were taken in the area in front of the elementary and middle schools down the street, and I took these shortly after the school year opened.
Clearly storm drains with weeds that has such lush and tall growth have NOT been tended to in quite some time! The sidewalks have growth and weeds growing and encroaching on them, as well as piles of pine needles and leaves covering a good portion of them, which also have been there for a while.
This area is very busy in general, more so now that school is back in session - students, walkers, joggers, bikers, etc. and all have to navigate unkept sidewalks all the while needing to be super careful of the speeding vehicles passing by them too.
Seems that safety for kids, residents and others isn't a concern or priority for the town of Franklin.
