UPDATE ON LEAF COLLECTION

As many have no doubt noticed, the City is behind on leaf collection. This is Raleigh’s wettest year on record. Between the loss time due to snow days and the very wet leaves, City crews cannot work as quickly as they would like to.

Midtown-St. Albans survey response period extended through January 13.
