This is the city’s fourth year running the program with a budget of $300. The city provided the bags, and participants were paid $1 per filled bag. The city plans to burn the weeds before summer’s end. Each year the city re ceives complaints o f the plant growing along the bike path, sidewalks and curbs. The spiny bur or seed pod from the puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), also known as a “Goathead,” contains 20 seeds equipped with long, sharp spines ca- pable of puncturing a bike tire or a shoe. The city’s Code Com pliance Official Keri Jarmer said she could see a big im provem ent along the city’s bike path, streets and other public areas such as the Marina Park’s walking path. Many citizens partici pated in collecting the weed in the spirit of helping out their community. A City of Boardman spokesperson says the city appreciates all the participation in the pro gram, and hopes to sponsor it again next spring.
