RE: “Dust & Debris (Leaf) Blowers”
FYI - I am attaching a copy of a letter written to my neighbors asking for voluntary abandonment of noisy gas-powered "blowers". This letter includes the following attachments:
- "Making Noise Over Gas Blowers," Lincoln Journal Article May 18, 2006
- City of Palo Alto Ban of Gas Blowers, June 13, 2005 [Note - The ban was put into effect on Dec. 31, 2005 after a six month delay from the original ordinance's passage.]
- Copies of letters sent to you on:
- March 13, 2006
- April 5, 2005
- September 1, 2004
It would be nice to receive an acknowledgment from you of receipt of this information and of my requests for your suggested 'next steps.' And more specifically, how does an ordinance like the one passed in Palo Alto get considered in Lincoln?
Respectfully yours,
