Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: This is a thank you. I have recently noticed workers in Bryan Park playgrounds using a bucket and a spiked pole to pick up pieces trash. Such an improvement over using leafblowers. Please also answer this question: when workers are using leafblowers in the playgrounds, what is the reason? I have several times uReported my objections to that practice that stirs up dust, creates noise pollution, and fills the air with exhaust fumes. All that, it seemed to me, without any real purpose. But let me add: I have also noticed much less leafblowing recently. For that, THANKS!

I have a
Thank You

Thank you for the comments. Thankfully we have mostly been able to switch over to battery technology which, while not perfect, at least eliminates some of the sound and emissions that come along with gas leaf blowers. We do encourage staff to only use those tools when a job really calls for them, so it's good to hear alternative methods are being used. We will pass that along to the staff that work in Bryan Park.
