Given that the City refuses to fine residents who blow leaves and grass into adjacent properties and/or onto sidewalks and streets (or even just acknowledge the validity of a complaint made about it), it seems like it will be perfectly fine in the future for everyone to just rake all their leaves and grass clippings into the streets and let the street-cleaners deal with the mess.
Property owner blew leaves all over sidewalks along both Cottage Grove and Lincoln, where they have piled up and are blocking passage and making the walkways slippery and dangerous. If the City refuses to pick up leaves, they should at least follow through and fine people who blow leaves onto ther people's property or public thoroughfares. The argument that the leaves will eventually decay is specious; that line of thought could be extended to saying that there is no need for laws at all because eventually everyone alive today will one day be dead.
A few homes have mounded their leaves on the the street. Rather than bagging or mulching. They are going to be in the storm drain with the upcoming rain. Please have them remove their leaves from the street
Neighborhood is still waiting on storm removal. Grass is dying or dead from piles so please expedite. Thank you.
Somehow the leaves in front of my house and my neighbors on either side as well as those on Park toward Maxwell were all missed. We had them raked in time but the truck must have just missed this block

Please cancel environmentally unnecessary leaf collection and divert funds to much much much needed storm branch debris a few times a year.
Desperately need the leaf vacuum to grab the leaves around the intersection of Blair and 11th. I scooped up the ones that had completely blocked all 5 storm drain grates at the intersection, but without removing the leaves from the rest of the street they will just wash in and block them up again with the next rainstorm. Last time they were blocked was in the spring, and they caused the water to jump into our yard and flood our basement.
I have raked some leafs along Smith Ave between Maple and Euclid. Hope the city can pick them up when they are in our area
