The ridiculousness of the petition is exceeded only by that of the machines. Brooms that make more noise than a chain saw and more fumes than a pick up truck. Used daily to sweep grass clippings off of pathways on 0.2 acre lots. Truly and utterly ridiculous.

And create an task force of enforcers with sound meters that roam neighborhoods looking for violaters. It's job creation!

This sounds like a very healthy civil society you are trying to cultivate.

Logical question above. And what about the requirement in Alexandria City to clear your walks within 24 hours of snow? Do you know how many (older men(typically) die per year when shoveling snow from walks and driveway due to its strain on their hearts? So will AC have to drop this requirement?

Why only gas and not electric leaf blowers? Why only leaf blowers and not lawn mower or hedge trimmers?

Wrong. Those who bought them have rights too as they were not illegal or banned.Perhaps request they cut less often as $$$ doesn't grow on trees for most Americans.Why not be reasonable?

Gas leaf blowers should be banned in all urban and suburban neighborhoods.
