I was told it was for the butterflies in the area but it does look pretty shabby to me too.

Wisconsin Rapids Code Enforcement assigned this issue to Wisconsin Rapids Parks and Recreation

In order to give more attention to our park mowing and restrooms, there have been a few changes made in mowing. The Expressway is now mowed up to the trees, and will be left more natural from that point up. We do hope to add plants that attract butterflies and birds in the future as well.

You had all summer to plant flowers for the butterflies, maybe you should hire more people so you have more people to mow areas that need it.

Unfortunately, budget constraints do not allow us to have a larger staff. I wish we could mow all areas - I agree with you - the hill looks messy as it is, but we hope to make it look better in the future.
