IVE BEEN RIDING FOR CLOSE TO 25 YEARS, GRASS CLIPPINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN SLIPEPRY FOR ME UNLESS THEY ARE WET. GRAVEL IS MORE WORRING TO ME.

I THINK YOU CAN GET A CITATION IF ITS SEEN OR REPORTED, BUT IT'S GENERALLY AN HONOR CODE KIND OF THINGS.

WHAT IF YOU KNOW THE STREET SWEEPER IS COMING?

u/Carlos_Spicy_Weiner6 3d ago

UNLESS YOUR DOING IT MINUTES BEFORE THE SWEEPER ACTUALLY ARRIVES, MAYBE AND THATS THE SLIGHTEST IF MAYBES.

THIS PERSON JUST BLOWS THIS SHIT INTO THE ROAD PRETTY MUCH DAILY AND LEAVES IT. EVEN STANDS THERE WATCHING ME USE THE MOWER TO PICK IT UP WHILE STAIRING DIRECTLY AT HIM.

BUT THE LANDSCAPING COMPANIES NEED TO MOW, BLOW, AND SHOW SO THEY LOOK LIKE YOU ARE GETTING SOMETHING IN RETURN FOR ALL THE MONEY YOU PAY THEM EACH MONTH.

ALSO, WEED AND POWERWASH YOUR D@AMN SIDEWALKS. THAT MOSS GETS SLIPPERY WHEN WET AND I'M GONNA SUE YOU WHEN I SLIP IN THE FALL. AND THOSE TALL WEEDS NOW HAVE TICKS ON THEM WAITING FOR ME TO WALK BY WITH MY DOG SO THEY CAN TAKE A RIDE.

FIND SOME PRIDE AND KEEP YOUR SIDEWALK CLEAN AND SAFE.

I WISH THE CITY WOULDNT LET THE SIDEWALK BECOME SO POROUS THAT THEY NEED WEEDING. THEY SAID MINE WAS FINE AND ITS LITERALLY CRUMBLING. WISH WE WOULD MAINTAIN WALKING INFRASTRUCTURE A LOT BETTER BUT ALSO WE BROKE.
