City crews will start in the area of the Memorial Pool, moving south· and then east. Please refrain from parking on the street when leaf removal operations are in your area as street sweepers will be following.

Citizens are reminded that this project is to remove the leaves that fall in the streets only. Please, do not rake or otherwise place leaves in the roadways. If you have garbage service, you may dispose of leaves for free at the City Garbage site on Hwy 30, until November 30, 2021.
