>Time to fine people who dump leaves on the road after the collection deadline
It is all too typical of people with no respect for others, sad to say.
It’s really time to simply enforce even the existing law and fine people who do that. I’d be for really toughening the laws though and making fines routine for repeat offenders.
I do think Village might still be doing some pickups though, even though the website says they’ve completed the work.
Today I saw some very large piles on Walthery, Shelton and Banta. These blocked parts of the street and looked like they had been stacked by Village for a truck to (hopefully) pick up later.
But still way too many owner and landscaper piles all over. There are large piles (leaves and big branches all mixed together) in many spots on Franklin Tpk and also parts of Racetrack. Those are very busy streets and get large trucks all the time.
Yet people have big debris piles out in the road. In some spots it almost seems a contest for some folks of who can build the biggest.
The traffic alone often scatters junk everywhere. Sometimes the trucks (cars too) hit the piles and then stuff goes flying. I’d hate to be walking when that happens. Bad enough to be driving and swerving around to avoid it all.
