Leaves fell late and snow came early. People threw a fit there leaves weren’t picked up. We have 5 leaf crews. Those trucks are also snow plows which means a change over in equipment every time it snows. It will take another month to get caught up on leaves here, and that is if it doesn’t snow.
Be patient.

But I get the challenge for whoever agrees to do the leaves pickup. What amuses me is that it's the same outrage every year despite the same thing happening every year. You'd think after a while the town would try to figure out a more appropriate solution and/or people would stop depending on something that has always been a problem every year (and that is regardless of trying to assign blame out to Mother Nature and/or public works).

Why people still count on leaf pickups happening and then are surprised and outraged when it doesn't is beyond me. It has happened every single year I have lived here.
Who knew there is winter weather in the area, often times which happens before or very shortly after all the leaves fall from trees!?!
The home of Detroit. I don't even think Chicago can match the level of corruption in Detroit over the past 40 years.
