The city says the $250,000 investment will allow the city to set an example for private businesses and homeowners while also doing its part to reduce carbon emissions. City leaders say the robots will free up employees to focus on other important tasks.
The city of Dallas is making the switch to electric lawn equipment at the Kiest Softball Complex. Some of the equipment is robotic, which the city says will save manpower. The city says the $250,000 investment in robotic lawnmowers will allow the city to set an example for private businesses and homeowners while also doing its part to reduce carbon emissions. Dallas Parks and Recreation Department Director John Jenkins says no current jobs will be impacted.
"My questions are how much is this costing, and where can we find the funds to expand it? My goal would be to expand it," she said. The cost of the equipment for the 277-acre Kiest Park is more than $250,000."Switching to electric equipment improves air quality, reduces greenhouse gases, reduces noise pollution and better protects the health of our residents," said Carlos Evans, director of environmental quality and sustainability.
