The Garden City Environmental Advisory Board has been discussing the use of gas-powered commercial leaf blowers used by landscapers. At this point the discussion, the focus is whether to limit the use of commercial gas-powered leaf blowers. This does not include electric leaf blowers.

Question Title

* 1. Garden City currently has no restrictions on gas-powered leaf blowers. Would you like to see restrictions placed on gas-powered leaf blowers in GC?

Question Title

* 2. Would you support a seasonal ban on all gas-powered leaf blowers, perhaps a prohibition from June 15 - Sept 15 every year?

Question Title

* 3. Would you support allowing gas-powered leaf blowers only for spring and fall clean up? (April 1 - May 15 and Oct 15 - Dec 15)

Question Title

* 4. If a seasonal ban on gas-powered leaf blowers were instituted, should there be an exemption for clean-up after severe weather?

Question Title

* 5. Would you support a complete, year-round ban on gas-powered leaf blowers?

Question Title

* 6. Would you support a village-wide ban on all commercial landscaper activity in Garden City on Sundays?

Question Title

* 7. On Saturdays, commercial landscapers are only allowed to operate in Garden City between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Would you support shrinking those available hours of operation further?

Question Title

* 8. Should commercial landscapers be required to remove and cart away the leaves instead of leaving them in piles on the street?
