I'm really glad Steven Anderson raised the point that leaves in the street are more than just messy: they eventually get into the lakes and are major contributors to algae blooms. I've also had trouble figuring out how to tactfully tell a neighbor that raking leaves into the street is wrecking

Thanks Susan for the helpful info. From now on I will definitely work to discourage my neighbors from raking leaves into the street. As a suggestion, how about including the ordinance on the street sweep sign as part of the educational process? Thanks again. Returning to lurk mode. Jan

Friends, I missed the "neo-nazi" remark. Actually I'm glad I don't know who stooped to make such an unfounded and sensational comment. Such a slur has no place on this list. It's ironic that such writers often wrap themselves in the flag of political correctness and then descend in record

As someone who composts everything and has no lawn to rake leaves off, I have always thought there was a better solution to people individually filling plastic bags to be picked up. (Except of course for the great Vote Yes yellow bags.) It seems to me that allowing people to rake leaves into
