The City of Raleigh needs a third leaf pick-up each season. With only two pick-ups per season, leaves rot in the street, wash into storm drains, blow back onto yards, interfere with traffic, etc.
This issue was presented to the COR Public Works Directer this past spring at a meeting of the Midtown CAC, and strongly supported by the residents.
Please have the Raleigh City Council address this issue.
Thank you for your attention.

I agree with Paul - the leaf pickup program is expensive and I don't think we should be spending more money off it. If people followed the law and kept their leaves off the road, there wouldn't be as much of a problem. Perhaps an enforcement program with citations?
It's easier to mulch your leaves in place with a lawnmower than it is to blow or rake them. The NCSU agriculture extension service recommends this if you check out their material on growing fescue. I think we should be encouraging this.
This issue came up at the MCAC meeting last fall, it seems to be a recurring issue for many people.

Yes. More lead pickups please. It's a bit insane to have leaves by the road for 2 months between pickups. Where I moved from they picked up yard waste weekly. Seems like a lot but if you think about it they get it as you generate it and don't let it pile up for weeks. Let's the crews move much faster through the neighborhoods.
I am not saying we need to switch to weekly. But every other week is not un easonable. Even Monthly would be huge improvement.

Good points about the regulations. I am however wondering about the cost issue. Say it takes 100 truck loads to haul one neighborhoods worth of leaves for the season. So with two pick-ups that is 50 truck loads in November and 50 more in January. With 4 picks-ups it would be 25 trucks in Oct, 25 in Nov, 25 in Dec and 25 in Jan. Overall it's the same amount of leaves and the same amount of truck loads.
Now I by no means know what it costs for pick-up and maybe my thinking off. But I think the cost difference would be a lot less then it seems.
