The city of Arlington could save money on the changes for the 67th Street median strip by shortening the strips — better access for trucks; eliminating the sprinkler system, cementing over Remrling strips — cementing would eliminate cost of mainenace, no need to replace two or three times a year and no need to weed the gardens.

The 67th Street area is primarily a business street. The trees on both sides of 67th Street are an enhancement. Eliminating the garden down the center would save money.
