(La Porte, IN) - Leaf pick-up resumed today in the City of La Porte after being brought to a halt due to light snow yesterday.

 

La Porte Street Department Director Jeff Batchelor said the plan is to complete all three of the originally scheduled passes through the city, as the second round of pick-ups could be completed early next week given that most of the leaves have already fallen.

 

“We’ll do the second round. Finish up with it sometime next week and go right into the third round,” he said.

 

Mayor Tom Dermody gave thanks to citizens for their patience and cooperation with the leaf pick-up.

 

“People have done a great job raking all of their leaves off and making sure we can get them,” he said.

 

It looks like Mother Nature will be cooperating with the leaf pick-up, with temperatures over the next seven days expected to rise into the upper 30s and into the 40s.
