The question about leaf removal in Lexington has been officially decided. Large vacuum trucks will not be patrolling city streets to collect leaves this fall. Lexington City Council members were briefed on alternate plans earlier this week. Part of the strategy is to provide coupons for additional free brown leaf bags as well as shoots to hold bags open better.
Environmental Quality and Public Works Commissioner Nancy Albright said residents will be encouraged to keep their leaves and use them in their own yards.
