During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding debris accumulation on curbs, particularly in the Lincoln Park area. A council member highlighted the potential hazards posed by this debris, especially with forecasted winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour. The member urged for an update from the Public Works department and suggested that crews may need to mobilize to clear the debris promptly.

The Deputy Chief of Operations acknowledged the issue but noted that he had not yet communicated with Public Works about the current situation. He encouraged members to report specific locations of concern, emphasizing the importance of addressing the debris for public safety.

One notable instance mentioned was the presence of an entire house placed on the curb at the intersection of 29th and B streets, underscoring the severity of the debris problem. The Deputy Chief reassured the council that while no immediate assistance was required from them, they would be kept informed should the situation change.

The meeting concluded with expressions of gratitude for the hard work of the teams involved in managing the situation, highlighting the collaborative effort needed to ensure community safety.
