Interesting,Mark. I had not realized that was a position in Richmond for not passing the right to ban gas leafblowers. We were told as well that it was in the cities domain not the states, as stated in the noise ordinance. However. Just yesterday we were told by a city attorney that we cannot regulate the noise projected by gas leaf blowers because that would be a ban, and also be hard to enforce. I thought the parking police could do this. Most of the gas blower noise does come from landscapers to the detriment of Alexandrian citizens. It would not be hard to pinpoint while driving through town. Because it’s everywhere!
