I am writing concerning the article ”Plan blossoms to help prettify the Kennedy.” I applaud the collaborative effort between the city, private firms and educational institutions toward beautification of the expressways.

I think, though, that rewarding the corporate sponsors of these flower gardens by letting them put their logos in the planted areas should be reconsidered.

Corporate sponsorship should be a voluntary contribution, not used as another form of advertising. What do we want, a spectacular display that says, ”Welcome to Chicago, the city of floral billboards”?
