In Bridgwater, Winnipeg, resident Alex Haims is protesting the mowing of a nearby boulevard, which he has dubbed a 'botanical garden' due to its unkempt state. Haims, who has lived in the area since 2008, claims that the boulevard has not been properly maintained by the city, resulting in uneven ground that makes mowing difficult. He stated, 'If I run my lawn mower, it will get stuck. It will not work,' citing the impact of heavy machinery from nearby construction on the boulevard's condition. Despite reaching out to his city councillor, Janice Lukes, and the city's 311 service, Haims reports that no resolution has been provided. He believes it is not his responsibility to level the ground and is willing to maintain the area once it is repaired. The city has issued a notice of inspection scheduled for June 11, as homeowners are required to maintain boulevards under 20 feet wide or face fines of up to $1,000 for non-compliance. Haims hopes the situation will improve soon, expressing concern that the 'botanical garden' will persist after his interview.
