Update - 11/14/2019: The DPW crews are heading into Zone 2 to collect leaves. Remember, they are almost a week behind schedule due to the need to clear streets at the beginning of the week and now due to the snow on top of the leaves. If you see one of these employees engaged in this activity, give 'em a wave and thank them for their hard work!
__________________________
Update - 11/13/2019: The Fall Leaf Pickup Program has resumed today, November 13. Collection will begin in Zone 1; however, due to added weight from snow and ice, it is expected that each zone will be cleared in two days, rather than the normal one day. The progress of the Fall Leaf Pickup Program is weather dependent and may be further delayed due to the need for crews to return to street snowplowing operations.
