The City of Woodstock will be compassionate in its approach to Code violations resulting from placement of storm debris in the public right-of-way after last Friday's storms.
The Public Works Department has pretty much completed its clean-up of debris from public roads and public property. If tree or other damage occurred on private property, it is the responsibility of the property owner to take care of it.
Many residents have placed limbs, branches and brush between the sidewalk and the curb in front of their property. This area is deemed the "right-of-way" and, as such, is not the place for such debris. Property owners should contact waste haulers or other businesses to have the debris removed this week.
The City will begin identifying Code violations, but enforcement action will not commence this week. If debris is still in the right-of-way (the parkway or grass area between the sidewalk and curb) next Monday, June 28, then the City will begin making contacts with property owners.

And I'm sure you'll be out there looking for all the debris scofflaws and reporting them to the police...
Gus ... this poor Bulldog has a thorn in his paw!
Oh, I thought he had rabies.
