Commentary

I know this is an old report, but wanted to add that I did contact OSU about this patch of puncturevine this year. Todd Cross talked to me about it and he is great. He's aware of it and the trouble that it causes. He mentioned that Jason Dalrymple is the contact that covers that area of campus. I reached out to Jason about how it would be important to treat this, but I didn't hear back. There has been more construction in that area, so I'm curious if it's still there.
