The City of Waukesha has promised to plant additional trees along the Rolling Ridge terraces in the future. In addition, fencing, similar to the split rail style located further up Rolling Ridge, may be added to the areas where the box culverts are located.
Presently, the sides of the "new" ditch include plants that are designed to grow quickly to aid in preventing erosion. Many of these plants are annuals and should not reappear next year. You may have noticed our birds have planted some sunflowers and corn as well.
The maintenance of the ditches will include a cut of approximately 10' with the remainder being allowed to grow naturally. The City has promised to cut back unwanted vegetation every 5 years.
