Legislation should be proposed by Mayor and Counicl to ban gas powered blowers in Princeton.

Rather than banning them, limiting their use to certain times/days would be good to preserve some times for silence. The same applies to lawnmowers, chainsaws, and other garden machinery

The municipal noise ordinance lists the times it is allowed to operate those pieces of machinery. https://www.princetonnj.gov/ordinances/2014-35
If these times are violated, please contact the police department, 609-921-2100.

As the manager of a Nassau St business I watched in dismay as one of the workers using a leaf blower recently blew debris into my store under the front door. There are people leaf blowing parking lots in town in May, when leaves are not falling. It's a little overboard to be using them at this time of year, especially at a time when there's a respiratory pandemic.
