Take a look at the landscaping under 95 in Fishtown and let me know how you think this will age. PennDot didn't even bother picking up the trash before it landscaped. They do have crews that come by to maintain the landscaping, but last time I saw them again notice it does not entail picking up trash (which was never picked up in the first place so it looks like a garbage dump) and someone on the crew was weedwacking ornamental grasses to the root.
So there's that.
Philly really has a deficit when it comes to basic understanding of maintenance of public space. Imagine being the foreman of any of these crews and just being okay with throwing mulch down over a bunch of trash and not thinking to pick it up first. Or driving a street sweeping machine and between jobs and not thinking it would be a good use of your time to put the brushes down so that you could pick up all the trash you're driving by. Or you know, spending $1BN to rebuild 95 and never cleaning it.
It's next level incompetence.
