ALT Text overlaid on the previous image: Help clear the leaves In autumn, we all need to do our part to keep sidewalks, planting strips, and gutters clear where we live or own a business. This is important because keeping sidewalks clear of fallen leaves and overgrown vegetation makes it easier for everyone to get around, while reducing slipping risks when the sidewalk gets wet or frozen. It also helps to prevent flooding when storm drains get clogged with too many leaves.

Watch out for people walking, rolling, scooting, and biking. Wet streets take longer to stop on. Follow the speed limit, drive with care, and look out for others so everyone gets to where they’re going safely.
