This Ordinance is designed to make pedestrian safety a priority. i. 2898-25 An Ordinance Amending And Supplementing Chapter 7, Traffic, Subsection 7-33, School Zones, Of The Revised General Ordinances Of The Township Of West Orange (Carballo) This Ordinance amends Chapter 7, Subsection 33 School Zones of the Revised General Ordinances.

The practice of blowing leaves and other debris for property maintenance has unintended environmental and health consequences that disrupt and destroy animal, bird, insect and pollinator habitat, including adversely impacting the respiratory health of our pets. The Township wishes to continue to strengthen its commitment to public health and wellness and environmental sustainability and believes that the proposed amendments will help achieve greater equity and public health as well as quality of life. Commercial-grade battery-powered leaf blowers have become more readily available.
