Leaf Removal Day is Monday!

Hello Gulchers. This coming week our street leaf nightmare is over. Our 'Clean Sweep' leaf removal day is Monday, December 6th. Today you may have noticed the yellow easels with No Parking signs attached on every block in the Gulch. The good news is that you can probably ignore them until Monday. The bad, on Monday December 6th, you MUST obey them or else be ticketed and towed to the tune of $242. This year Sullivan's Gulch became a Clean Sweep neighborhood. This means that on leaf day our streets will be completely cleared of cars, voluntarily or otherwise, so that the sweepers can do a more thorough job. So please remember to get your cars off the streets Monday morning by 9 a.m. There's usually plenty of parking at Fred Meyer and at the Lloyd Center and they are not so far away. If you do end up with a scofflaw parked in front of your house call the Leaf Day Hotline 503-823-1700 and PDOT will send out a hotspot crew to blow the leaves away from the offending vehicle so that the sweep will get them. You can also comment here at the blog if you need help. Have a happy leaf day!!
