Description
Kid with a town uniform and a powerful leaf blower blowing leaves in a cyclone and into cars before the stoplight, which is damaging to cars and dangerous for pedestrians. I stop the car away from him, so the leaves don't hit the car or block my vision, and I make eye contact in the hope that he sees what he's doing. He looks at me and starts to swear profusely. I still do not move the car. He moves the leaf blower down the end of the block and continues to blow (and curse). The light changes. I drive on and park the car. (I can still hear him cursing).
(And its a good thing he moved away...some dope decided to run through the traffic on a green light).
I don't want to deal with the cursing part...that's window dressing. Rather, I ask the question as to no one has the common sense here to instruct that you never use a power appliance around people or cars? I cleaned a theater for years during school, and I was told that when people were around, one uses a broom and a catch basket, so people do not get hurt.

Hi CT Morning, below is my contact info, however in regards to this issue it is likely I would only be able to operate as a conduit to forward this issue to the proper agency if we are able to identify them.
Based on the info initially provided it sounds possible that this person might have been a downtown ambassador, in which case we could forward this issue to the Town Green Special Services District to hopefully integrate into their training and supervision. Bear in mind, based on the info provided we do not know who the leaf blower works for and it limits our ability to constructively address.
