Archer: Riverdale Park Streets Passable; 'Massive' Cleanup Continues

The following message was posted Monday morning by Mayor Vernon Archer to the Riverdale Park TownTalk alias:

I am happy to report that all town streets are now passable and public works is working diligently to cleanup the right-of-ways and sidewalks. There are several things I want you to know about our cleanup efforts and what you can do to help us get this massive job done as safely and quickly as possible.

1. Please do not bring any storm debris (tree parts, etc.) to the curb this week if it is in your back yard or side yard. This will allow us to focus our efforts on cleaning up the right-of-ways from the problems we have right now. Also, since yard waste day is Wednesday the 4th of July holiday, the contract waste removal will not take place this week.

2. This coming weekend and next week (starting July 7), please then bring the waste from back and side yards to the street and public works/or the contractor will then work to pick it up as quickly as possible.

3. If you are arranging a cleanup/removal through your own tree contract the above does not apply—your contract must include removal of all waste/debris.

Thanks for you patience and assistance!

Vern
