What would it take for Walnut Creek to ban these noise and gas polluting machines, that ruin our rights to a quiet, clean safe environment? Other cities are on the ball with electric only.

One would need to research other cities who have already done so and contact their Councilperson regarding their idea. Changes to the City's code is done at the Council level.

2 leaf blowers continue working between 6:30 AM to 7:00 AM at Mechanics Bank parking lot. Once they are done, another leaf blower starts working around 7:30 AM.

Thank you for the update. We will contact the bank's Facilities Division again.

City code allows the use of leaf blowers at 7 AM in the Downtown/Core Area.

Who do I complain about city code? I would appreciate if you can give me a contact name.

My name is listed on my posts.

The bank's facilities division was contacted by phone and the City has followed up with an issued notice for the listed complaint. The City is legally required to provide the property owner with a period of time to comply with our regulations. Their deadline for compliance has not yet passed.

Orinda took care of the problem's Leaf Blowers cause. WC City Council ignores the issue.
So tired of being blown out of bed!

Thank you for the information. If you would like to see our local laws changed to more reflect your view on this subject; I suggest researching other cities who have made such a change and present the findings to your councilperson. Changes to our local laws are made at the council level. If a sizeable group of residents is able to speak with council and present the researched data, they may pursue a change to our laws.
