Reader: New trees too expensive

I agree with the chiding of the Moses Lake City Council. I realize the downtown area needs beauty and safe sidewalks, but spending $160,000 on just trees, please! Wasn't it not long ago funding to maintain flower pots was a problem? What good are new trees/safe sidewalks if you can't walk shop downtown? I spend all my time finding a place to park and/or dodging traffic from parked cars pulling out into my lane of travel. I would love to walk and shop! In the 70s and 80s we parked in one spot and took our children shopping. Now! Well you know. Only at places with large parking lots, where you can go to Big Lots, Big 5 and get a Big Mac and never move your car!
