I strongly disagree with this decision as it seems unnecessary and impractical. There are <br /> already enough noise and disturbance issues in the area, and I don't believe that the ban of gas <br /> blowers would solve any of these problems. Additionally, the lawnmowers and blowers used by <br /> parks and recreation are much louder than the gas blowers, which makes me question the reasoning <br /> behind this potential ban. <br /> Moreover, I want to bring to your attention that many small companies have been hit hard by the <br /> pandemic, and this ban would only add another burden on gardeners who are already struggling to <br /> make ends meet. I think it's unfair to put this kind of pressure on them, especially after all the <br /> hardships they (and all of us) have faced during these challenging times. <br /> I hope you will consider my points and reconsider the potential ban of gas-powered leaf blowers. <br /> Sincerelv, <br /> Lesa <br /> 1 <br />
