Curb Appeal by OnlyMe1
We sure needed the work on Highway 101 through town to get rid of the dreadful bumps and awful looking patchwork. But, I can't help thinking that it would have been nice if this opportunity could have been used to find other ways to make that main road more visually attractive. If you go down to St. Peter, you can see medians with planters and decorative lighting. Here in Shakopee, we can't seem to muster up the drive to do something like that. Shakopee has a great river valley location and could be a tourist draw for places like Valley Fair, Canterbury Park and nearby Mystic Lake. But, we need a major beautification effort and some zoning laws that prevent grass that hasn't been mowed or treated for weeds, parking lots without night time lighting and dilapidated signs (all of which can be found along Marschall Road), etc.
