Description
On Friday, October 29, 2010 at about 1:45PM, I was driving past the old Fire Department site at the intersection of Newton and Center Roads. I noticed two men were clearing leaves on the site using a high-powered push blower. I was then shocked to see that the men were blowing the leaves and other debris directly into the middle of Newton Road, and in fact directly onto my passing car.
As a town resident, I am appalled that a town property is being maintained in this fashion, with leaves being blown into or across the street. I further don’t appreciate my car being throttled with leaves, dirt, and other debris when driving into the town center to conduct my business. This practice should be changed.

They must be from New Haven. This is a common practice in New Haven and is ILLEGAL by City Ordinance- $100 fine per occurrance.
Good luck getting it enforced. Have tried for years even with video of culprits and company name, same people do this with snow. I can't beat em so I've joined them. All my leaves go in the street along with the snow, no enforcement - why comply, tired of being the "crank" in the neighborhood even though its my biggest pet peeve. Thanx for letting give up New haven Public Space Inspectors.

whats really wrong with click it or fic it is censorship- if your comment is negative then its blocked by rejections-- someone calling themselves ruserious commented to get a life cause this isnt a real complaint. everyone should be entitled to their opinion as long as its not threating, harassing or vulgar. whatever happened to freedom of speech???
Dare you to reject this one BEN.

Ken, I agree completely, the audacity of these workers is incredible.
Though this report went to several officials in Woodbridge, no one has acknowledged it much less tried to remedy it. Very disappointing.

Concerned- request a copy of the municipal code of ordinaces from the Town Clerk and copy it. Then give to the Police Cheif and ask why it won't be enforced. If it still not acted upon by complaint then go to the State Police.
Kayla I believe that is exactly what I said verbatim, yet the comment was stll removed. seen it more than once.

Hi Freespeech,
Telling someone to "get a life" is harassing. The comment violated our Terms of Use and was appropriately removed. If you have further questions, please contact me at kayla@seeclickfix.com, thanks!

I'm not fully familiar with the process here, but shouldn't someone from the town of Woodbridge log in and formally 'Acknowledge' the issue? Then it's official, and we can 'Close' the issue.
Ms. Shaw's post is noted, but it doesn't seem to be official. Kayla or someone else from SeeClickFix, please advise.
