Dear Mayor Gordo and Pasadena City Council,
As a cancer survivor and older American at 71,1 am concerned about allowing leaf blowers so soon after the fire. In my neighborhood, here in NW Pasadena, I still see many piles of trash and debris that have not yet been picked up. I'm not aware of soil that has been tested unless homeowners can pay for this. I want to see soil reports at safe levels. So, I don't yet feel it is safe to have the leaf blowers return.
Additionally, I have always felt that the onus should be more on the homeowners to assure that their gardener has purchased and is using an electric blower. I hope that you will agendize a discussion on this. We clearly need to address our climate goals, and this is a significant way to do that considering the extremely high pollution levels that gas blower put out. I frequently see gas powered blowers being used.
Thank you for considering this.
Sincerely, Jill Shook
