Keeping Weiser clean and cheering on our Wolverines

Leaf pickup is still underway. Even though we still see plenty of leaves hanging on the trees, our crews are working to get them picked up as they fall. Please give our crews plenty of room to reach the piles along the streets. We also ask that you keep the piles to leaves only. Limbs and other large objects can plug or damage our vacuum equipment, causing delays and unnecessary repair costs.

 We are also seeing some damage in our City parks from electric bikes. When a bike spins its tires all the way up a hill, it can leave dead spots in the grass that take time and money to repair. We don’t want to take anyone’s bike away, but we do ask everyone to follow the rules when using public property. Our parks belong to all of us, and we need everyone’s help keeping them in good shape.

 Congratulations on the big win Friday night! Good luck this Friday as the Wolverines head to Pocatello for the next game at 5:30 p.m. We are proud of our team and will be cheering them on!

 As winter approaches, I also want to remind everyone that we will be making a strong effort to keep abandoned vehicles off our streets. We need to have our streets clear so our crews can safely and effectively remove snow when the weather turns.

 The Weiser Memorial Hospital will be holding a flag-raising ceremony Wednesday morning, along with Veterans Day ceremonies at our local schools. It is wonderful to see our community and schools taking the time to recognize those who have served.

 Enjoy this great November weather while it lasts. Thank you for helping keep Weiser a great place to live!

 Go Big Red!
