Thanks for the corrections, looking forward to a bare street. I wrote too soon, guess I can’t get my head around the idea that Area 1 is on both sides of the river.

Thanks, Sabra – - but photo was after our second/FINAL leaf pick-up. Situation has been same for past number of years. Before that the city street sweeping machines would immediately follow to get all the remaining debris – - which is fairly substantial. But now, for example, our first street sweeping after the fall/2008 leaf pick-up wasn’t until JULY,2009 – - after which most of the leaf debris had either been washed into the sewers by snow melt or rain – - or still sat in the street in muddy,dirty lumps. I called the city early this spring to ask about this – - received a very nice and detailed reply which essentially translated to ” don’t expect the street sweepers anytime soon or more than once a year “. So,OK,if we need to accept this as part of the overall reductions in street/park/tree maintenance – - seems like it would be prudent for the annual street-sweeping to immediately follow final leaf pick-ups. Some extra/temporary manpower would be well worth the effort to get this done within the ample number of temperature-appropriate days available.This would keep massive amounts of leaves out of the sewer, and keep our streets from looking so dirty for much of the year.

The second round of leaf pick up is just starting — a little late (it was supposed to begin on the 23rd) but not too far off schedule. With luck from the weather gods, those leaves should be picked up before the snow.

I’m in Zone 1; the trucks picked up my leaves this morning before 7 am.

But… hey! We got a million bucks to blow on an ugly sculpture for the pricey new city hall for King John and his minions! Priorities, folks… priorities!

Sunset Rd. is a mess, with large piles still in the street, probably to stay through the winter.
