Over the past few years, an increasing number of leaf vacuum trucks, operated by independent landscapers, have invaded our Montclair neighborhoods. They clog the narrower roads, make a tremendous amount of noise, and – worst of all – spew a tremendous amount of smoke and carbon monoxide into the air while operating.

Some of these trucks are worse than others, but it is clear that they are not regulated at all in terms of emissions while in operation. We, the undersigned, ask the township to regulate these noisy polluters by banning or regulating them and to enforce these regulations wherever possible.

(I will appear before the city council to ask its members to act on this at the next Township Council meeting.)

Please sign the petition.
