Who is responsible for cutting the grass and/or weeds that grow by the curbs in the streets?
The city streets are maintained by the City of Bonham, and as such, grass and weeds growing in the street probably should be the responsible of the street department; however, the city has limited revenue and would never be able to cut all the grass and weeds in the streets that grows by the curbs. To take on such a project would keep our Public Works Department so busy that it would never be able to repair streets, clean ditches, mow properties, haul brush, repair equipment, repair and/or replace water and sewer lines, answer service calls, and a hundred other daily activities required of them. So, in effect, it becomes the responsibility of the property owner to clean the grass and weeds by the curbs in front of your property. Why would you not keep your yard and the street in front of your property clean? Please take personal responsibility to help keep Bonham clean and keep your neighbors happy. 3.
