There is no way that a mulching mower could handle <br />all the leaves that fall in this neighborhood, and it is practically a human <br />impossibility to back up all the leaves from our yard to either haul to a drop <br />off point or put out for our trash hauler. Waste Management, by the way, <br />charges 3 a lag for leaf pickup. I can't even estimate how many bags of leaves we <br />would have, but it's a lot'. <br />And as far as the neighbors getting together to put all the leaves in front <br />of one house to save lo..,.PLEEAAASE, 1 take offense at that comment. In <br />addition, I wouldn't put too much trust in residents' cleaning the leaves or other <br />yard waste out of the street gutters. The sewer grates in this area are still <br />plugged up with sticks, seeds, and organic matter that carne dawn in the spring <br />storms. <br />When we moved to Roseville in 1971, we were so pleased at what a nice <br />community it was. Good services for the residents included leaf pickup in both the <br />fall AND the spring. The streets have always been plowed after a snowfall before <br />cars need to get out for the day. The city sends out a newsletter informing <br />us of important issues. We used to xead the legal notices in the free <br />home-delivered newspapers (which I am sure you will restore). Tease don't bring this <br />city down to the point where it is no longer the desirable place to live that <br />it has been for so many years. Keep it better than the rest. That's why people <br />stay in Roseville and that's how we want it to remain - BETTER! <br />Please vote to continue the fall leaf pickup program. <br />Frances and Richard Reitz <br />2009 Aldine <br />I <br />
