New Leaf Collection Policy

Do we really believe that the new "Leaf Collection Policy" is because of storm water contamination. Or, could it be that the village is being cheap and attempting to cut costs by not having trucks go around the village and pick up leaves.

I understand we are under a financial strain - but it is certainly not because not enough revenue is coming into the town.

The ordinance does not declare what spots and how often the adjusted Leaf Collection will take place. Just that residents have to take more time to bag up all their leaves and truck them over to their designated spots on their designated days.

However - This will help keep the roads a little clearer and easier to navigate - But its fall and kids are back in school - Wouldn't it be safer to have narrower streats to force drivers to drive slower and more carefully?

I know we have been spoiled by with a great sanitation collection program - If this is something that really needs to be done than I may be inclined to go a long with it. It would be a great way for a private company to raise additional funds to do this job for the town billing directly to residents. But how much is this service worth. Would you pay your landscaper $10 - $20 - $50 a week to bag and remove your leaves?
