Motion presented by Councillor McKenna, Councillor Giannino: That the Mayor be requested to extend the street sweeping and yard waste programs for the entire month of December. Over the past few years because of warmer winters, leaves have been staying on trees longer. This situation has made it impossible to street sweep and the storm water drains become blocked. This request is being submitted prior to the new combination street sweeping and resident parking signage is created and installed.
