Crews came by yesterday and collected leaves from front of house as scheduled. He hasn't had time to rake the leaves from the back of the house. Upset that we won't come back for them.
I am an Adopt a Storm Drain volunteer for Queensway from High to Montclair and Sussex Dr. I have cleared leaves from drains numerous times this fall. I have cleared the drain at the SW corner of Queensway and Chelsey Ct several times this fall including raking leaves of Queensway for about four houses west of the drain onto the city easement. Today December 15, 2021 I cleared the drains because of an approaching rain event. The property owner nearest the drain on the south side of Queensway has raked not only the leaves that I had raked onto the easement last week but their entire yard into Queensway, blocking the drain completely. I suspect they will once again rake them into the street. This is one of the stormwater lines/creeks that results in flooding south along Rock Creek. Can the city take action and remove the leaves?
People should be REQUIRED to rake their leaves. His neighbor just lets his sit there and they all blow onto his lawn after he's already taken care of his. He's a DAV and can't keep up with this. Neighbor's leaves also clog the storm drains.
In the alley behind parking garage next to Scottys. Graffiti all over trash dumpsters, fencing housing trash cans, and recent report of multiple rats seen in this area and excessive trash (not observed today).
Where can I obtain leaf collection bags? I used to get these at the fire stations but have been informed they no longer supply them. Are the bags that can be bought at Lowes, Menards, or Kroger's accepted by the sanitation crews? Thanks Tom Woodward
Bags full of leaves have been here for a week not picked up on regular trash day.

Excessive leaf collection, with no effort to mulch the leaves, or dispose of the leaves. Grows mold and fungus, causes disease is trees and flora. Insects and pests.
The leaf collection crew left a rake in our yard. It is leaning against our mailbox at 933 S Meadowbrook Dr. Please have them pick it up. Thanks.
