You may have noticed -- as PT has -- a lot of brush piled up along the curbs throughout the city, placed there by residents after the recent series of storms.
As long as anyone can remember, the City has had a policy of picking up the brush residents put out after storms, no questions asked. (BRUSH that is. TREES have always been a different matter.)
This seems a sensible policy to PT, a reasonable use of taxpayer monies, and a benefit to the entire community.
Word in the street (literally), however, is that things may be changing. Citations are being issued. Are more to come?
Now, the City is perfectly within its rights to CHANGE a policy. But NOT WITHOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW.
So, what's the deal?
And even if the policy were being changed, wouldn't you tell people that this is the LAST TIME you're doing it and that the policy is being changed going forward?
Or is PT just being unreasonable? Again.

???where's the fall DPW flyer about when to put regular yard waste out???
I spoke to Administration officials yesterday about branches on streets,in response to citizen calls.
The plan is to add a branch/yard waste pick-up in early October. This will be in addition to the three pick-ups scheduled for the fall. Next year the pickup schedule will be adjusted to have this extra pick-up done during the summer, perhaps in August.
Residents are encouraged to keep to the schedule as some residents rightfully complain about illegal put outs that sit in the street for weeks and months. That doesn't improve Plainfields appearnance and is also a driving hazard.
