Every year it's the same. Why does Maplewood even have a leaf removal schedule since they are never able to follow it. And I guess one pass with the plow down Midland is sufficient.   Joan Citizen Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 2249 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2003 - 10:53 am:        Private Citizen: Be patient. A lot of snow has fallen and it will take some time to clear all of the streets properly. If you want to follow up with the town, you should direct your phone call, letter or personal appearance to the Public Works Department which is located on Newark Way.   Private Citizen Citizen Username: Privatecitizen Post Number: 44 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2003 - 11:00 am:        OK, but what about the poor job done with the leaves? We were supposed to have a pick-up this past week, but the trucks never came around. It's the same story every year. Why can't this town stick to its own schedule?? And now you have 12 inches + of show on top of the leaves. My tax dollars at work??!!   Kramer Citizen Username: Kramer Post Number: 4 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2003 - 11:21 am:        Where is Midland Avenue? I've only heard of Midland Blvd.   us2innj Citizen Username: Us2innj Post Number: 927 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2003 - 11:42 am:        Public Works for Maplewood: 973 762 1175 We have had three leaf collections, and the snow plows came around atleast four times yesterday, and once today. They have also sanded a few times. We are however, on Maplewood Avenue. Side streets generally do not get that kind of attention.   Private Citizen Citizen Username: Privatecitizen Post Number: 47 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2003 - 11:54 am:        Well, I wouldn't call Midland Blvd a side street. Have you ever travelled on it? It connects (almost) Boyden with Prospect. It even has its own traffic circles. ;-) Last year they gave it much more attention during the President's Day storm. This year the plows only made one pass on one side of the street, leaving almost a full car width of snow on the other side such that a two lane street has now become a one lane street!   Private Citizen Citizen Username: Privatecitizen Post Number: 53 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 11:16 am:        Just for the record, the snow removal from the lastest storm was much better, and the leaves were removed subsequent to the snow meltation. Thanks Maplewood Public Works.   johnny Citizen Username: Johnny Post Number: 794 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2003 - 12:32 pm:        Snow removal has been poor at best so far this year.
