Town Leaf Collection To Start Oct. 31: Rake To Curb, Do Not Put in Plastic Bags

Beginning Monday, Oct. 31 vacuum trucks will pick up the leaves raked to curbside by homeowners in those areas of town zoned for building lots of one acre or less. In those areas, please rake all of your leaves into the curb. DO NOT put leaves in plastic bags or mix them with brush or debris. The leaves are recycled into garden compost so they must be free of foreign matter.

Public Works: Short-Term Closures Expected on 10 New Canaan Roads

The Town of New Canaan will be resurfacing the following streets beginning July 9th:

Marvin Ridge Road
White Oak Shade Road
Kimberly Place
Hawks Hill Road
Autumn Lane
Arrowhead Trail
Braeburn Drive
Lone Tree Farm Road
Bridle Path Lane
Carriage Lane

Microsurfacing will be applied to these streets in two passes over two consecutive days (weather permitting); an initial “leveling course” followed by a “wearing course.” Each course will require up to 15 minutes to cure and be ready for traffic. The contractor for this work is SealCoating, Inc.

Their microsurfacing work will be limited to between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day in order to reduce the impact on residents of the short-term closures waiting for the material to dry. If a potential 15-minute delay in exiting or entering your driveway will adversely affect your scheduled activities, we suggest you make arrangements to park on a neighboring street while your street is being treated. Should you have any questions regarding this project please do not hesitate to contact our Assistant Director of Public Works, Tiger Mann at (203) 594-3056 or Tiger.Mann@newcanaanct.gov, or Highway Superintendent Mose Saccary at (203) 594-3709 mose.saccary@newcanaanct.gov.
