[Summit] leaf blowers & idling cars: E. Side quality of life issues

[Paul Wilde]

So the question is, do we have any support to introduce legislation to ban
leaf blowers in Prov?

Similarly, from a clean air pt of view, does anyone find it reasonable to
petition the Hope St merchants to encourage a ban (or strongly worded
request) on cars idling in parking lots?  According to Click & Clack,
anything beyond 30 sec of idling and you have lost any gain you may have
saved from fuel used by turning the car off & on again, or are people too
unconcerned to be bothered by this form of noise and air pollution?  Not to
mention walking the gauntlet to your car, which we hope, is turned off.  As
one friend put it, you are getting 0 mpg while idling.
