gas leaf blowers

A landscape company is challenging Montclair’s new gas leaf blower ordinance in court.

Landscapers also accused the Montclair Township Council of catering to a “minority” of residents who find leaf blowers annoying.

Montclairians will get 75 fewer days of leaf blower noise invading their backyards and permeating their homes if the Township Council gives final approval to an ordinance introduced earlier this month.

Montclair’s Township Council is expected Tuesday to vote on an ordinance that would restrict gas leaf blower usage.

Residents looking to see leaf bowers intrude less often on their daily lives will have to wait a bit longer — as officials say they haven’t yet agreed on how to curb their use.
