"R sidents should pile leaves in the street before their neighborhood is scheduled for pickup," s 'd Public Works Maintenance Director Bob Hammitt. If residents do not get the leaves pile on the street prior to the scheduled time for their neighborhood, they will be responsibl for removing the leaves themselves. On treets with curbs and gutters leaves should be piled on the street surface near the gutter line, making sure the piles don't block the flow of water along the curb. On streets without cu bs and gutters, leaves should be placed neaz the street but cleaz of ditches. Hammitt a ks residents to keep catch basins open to prevent flooding and cautions against placing lea es in bike lanes and traffic lanes where they may create a possible safety hazard. San left from recent street sanding opertions on residential streets will be cleaned up in conjunct on with the leaf pickup. Sand left on azterials will be cleaned up during the night. According o Hammitt, traffic has pushed most of the sand out of the main travel lanes onto adjacent b' a lanes and crosswalks, and he advises bicyclists and pedestrians to be extra cautious u it the cleanup is completed. Property owners aze responsible for sweeping sand off sidewa sand may sweep it into the street where street sweepers will clean it up.
