"Debris" raked, swept, or intentionally blown onto the street or onto the right of way, besides presenting a hazard for bicyclists, pedestrians, and to a lesser extent, drivers, clogs our drainage basins and adds nutrients to the flow that ends up in our lake. May I suggest that DPW add a form letter, similar to the fine example on snow/ice deposition, with the Excavation Inspector's signature, to its inventory of missives sent to offending property owners?

This is such a bummer when residents do this seemingly to beautify the neighborhood. It would be great if proper spring cleanup was better communicated by the city to residents. It also is a demonstration that there is a spring leaf/debris pick up that would benefit residents and DPW.

I guess common decency and common sense are out the window

What's even worse, I was standing under that window when they were thrown out!

The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.
This was swept on 6/3/18.
