Description

I live on Long Bow Lane in Largo.
I just saw a Pinellas County Public Works
"Air Sweeper" truck come down my street and sweep/vacuum along the edges of my street.
Right now there are enormous piles of tree trunks and tree branches lining both sides of the street, piled up on front of every house. These piles tower over my head as I walk down the street, and I am sure it will be quite some time before they are all removed because of the enormous amount of these throughout the entire county. (which I completely understand and I am not complaining at all about the piles.)
But, it is a complete waste to have a truck come down my street to sweep up a few leaves & dirt with these piles of trees everywhere! A waste of this employees valuable time, as well as a waste of fuel.
I watched as the truck went by and there was absolutely no difference in the road after it passed down the street. (other than the pollution/fumes the truck was spewing)
As soon as they start removing the piles of trees, the road will be filled with debris. Wouldn't it make more sense to send the sweeper truck then?!
Isn't there something else more meaningful this valuable employee could be doing?!
Thank you,
Marcia Miller
