Is this a joke? Sure leaf blowers are annoying but do u really have to overreact to such a small issue? And how do you plan to stop people from using them? You talk about the workers using them all the time, so what are you going to do, ask them to use a rake which will take them 3 times as long to do?
This just keeps getting dumber. I saw your video for the Haaga sweeper cleaning the Orinda park and I just laughed. REALLY? I don't know about you, but I am happy to have somebody use a leaf blower to clear the path in about 5 minutes instead of take what looked to me like at least 3 times longer using that stupid machine. I would much rather have my tax dollars go towards road improvement or ANYTHING else rather than to pay somebody more money to do the same job. THIS IS SO STUPID!
Maybe noise and air pollution don't rank as high as other issues facing Lamorinda, but this seems like a cheap and easy fix for something that irritates a good number of people in this community. And for those who are not affected, consider this: a ban on leaf blowers just might have an uplifting effect on home demand and, thus, home values. Every real estate agent who performs work in Orinda is likely to tout a 'no leaf blower' benefit to living here.
Hahaha what a joke!!! I have lived in Orinda my entire life and have NEVER once thought to myself how nice it would be to not hear leaf blowers. How about you guys fight for something that really matters. This makes Orinda look SOOOO bad. I am ashamed to call these people neighbors.
Gas powered leaf blowers increase the presence of airborne particles, which may cause problems for persons suffering from asthma, hay fever, or other upper respiratory ailments.
Los Angeles Municipal (LAMC) Section 112. 04 (c) bans the use of the gas powered leaf blower device to minimize the nuisance and health related problems attributed to this type of equipment.

When you move into nature you have peace and quiet the majority of the time. However, with nature comes heavy duty choirs. Trees growing, requiring large branches being trimmed too not hit roofs...chainsaw, large yards...lawnmowers., weed wacking, edging. With nature comes much more choirs. Get a grip. You can handle the noise for a while. Adjust yourself. If yard work is being done go for a walk the opposite way in the peace and quiet of the nature. Ridiculous, lazy and unrealistic.
Oh fuck. Lazy, entitled, everyone has an opinion on something Americans.

I am not surprised that people all of the country are getting on the bandwagon to ban leaf blowers. They are obnoxious noise and air polluters.
Anyone with intelligence knows this.
