Now for an Important Announcement from the City of Richmond.
We must all take responsibility for the alleys behind our homes. It is the
City code that residents must trim bushes and weeds to the middle of the
alley behind their yards. Due to the wet summer, this may be quite a job.
However, we have just been told that our trash will not be picked up in
the
alleys unless they are clean all the way through.
The trash trucks are large and our alleys are narrow. I know we all want
to
continue to have the convenience of alley pickup. Please, everyone get out
and trim and mow. If your neighbor is not able, please exhibit the
traditional
Bellevue camaraderie and trim a little extra.
