Readers say Parking in the street is a problem for Fall leaf collection
Parking in the street is a problem. Empty streets are needed for garbage, recycling, bulk, and yard waste collection, as well as leaf and snow removal, plus the occasional cleaning of gutters. The problem seems to be multi-car households where there isn’t enough driveway space. I also see walkways blocked because of parked cars in driveways that can’t get all the way in.
the police should be driving the rout that the leaf crews will be picking up the next day. the police know what roads the crew will be in the next few days, it’s all on the map. this year is very bad. no ever parked on the street in front of my home on hillcrest. at 2am to 5am the police have the time. even in the c b d I see cars parked in the road at 4am when I go to work.
There are cars all over the place overnight, I see it when I walk my dog early in the AM. They have definitely been out all night because they have the overnight condensation on the windows. It looks horrible, the streets look cluttered. It is all because some people are too lazy to put two cars in the driveway and have to back one out in the morning to let another out. Give us a break. There used to be enforcement of this law and I wish they would get back to it. As always those of us who follow the law are inconvenienced and those who do not follow the law are not penalized.
Soon the village will look like a borough of NYC. Either the police are to lazy to write the ticket or they are not patrolling the streets as everyone thinks.
It would smell better if we could burn leaves once in a while.
these thing’s should not be in the street when the village needs to sweep, plow snow, salt the roads, remove snow, repair water damage pipes. and they are cars, can’s, suv’s and what ever else you people just park in the way.
yes why do people put out cans in the street, put them on the sidewalk or your lawn . I put my cans at the end of my drive way. it works on gateway for us. I do see others on the block leaving them in the road. I tell them what if a truck came down to plow,how can they clean the street. they say o yh, dude wake up.
thanks mr can man.
go on line and you will see the leaf crews will be in sec C on monday . so how many of us know whare is sec C , hummmm, yeah i new it. o boy.
