I think one very simple thing that the Montlake business district could do is to get hanging flower pots on all of the light posts and in front of or surrounding the trees lining the side walks. Cafe Lago has a beautiful planted cask and pleasant window displays. In reality, it does not have to cost a lot if you choose hardy plants and ask each business to water them.If you ever shop in Madison Park or the University Village, you get the flowers and attractiveness that welcomes potential customers into the shops and to then SPEND MONEY. Trash is mitigated by each shop owner instead of allowing it to pile up and blow around Montlake’s business district. As things are presently, it would take very small effort and money to make Montlake shine, Thanks, resident and grounds keeper , Renate Pinch.
