Loose leaf collection began today and will continue through November. Residents are asked to follow the guidelines at http://www.cityofsaline.org/?module=News&event=View&newsID=209 As shown in the photo, most of our streets have room for two travel lanes and leaf piles. We generally advise residents to place leaves on the extension to avoid conflicts with traffic. However, if parking is permitted on your street, it is safe to place them in the street. Do not park vehicles on top of leaf piles. If parking is not permitted in front of your property, please pile your leaves on the extension. And please remember to practice safe defensive driving.

Good work everyone.
