Correction

An article in Friday’s edition included incorrect dates for the city’s annual leaf pickup. The correct schedule is as follow:

o Section 2 — Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 – Residences between Blue Earth Avenue/Lake Avenue and Lair Road/Cardinal Street.

o Section 3 — Nov. 5-9 – South of Lair Road/Cardinal Street.

o Section 1 — Nov. 12-16 – North of Blue Earth Avenue/Lake Avenue.

For those who live on one of the dividing streets, such as the north side of Blue Earth Avenue, leaves will be collected the first week. Those living on the south side of Blue Earth Avenue will have their leaves collected the second week.
