The leaves are falling, and the rain is coming. Rather than letting out streets be flooded. Let's be proactive and brish off leaves when we can. Street cleaning is happening this week in certain areas, so it's an ideal time to do it.
I know you're thinking "That's Street and Sanitation's job!"
But realisitically, they can't be everywhere, and this is relatively low priority compared to our many other needs.
If you don't want to yourself, perhaps some bored youth wouldn't mind using some sticks to clear things out.
Let's do our part to prevent flooding!
