Write a letter to the editor
The traffic-snarling operation takes place on Market Street at 8:12am on Tuesday, November 23.PHOTO BY HAWES SPENCER
The City sucks up leaves from its street trees by having one worker blow the leaves onto the edge of the street. Moments later, a vacuum-equipped truck comes along to suck up the leaves as sign-wielding workers warn traffic of the impediment. (More leaves fall before the truck has even left the scene.)
