Overview: At the recent Madison Borough Council meeting, the most pressing topic discussed was the decision to initiate leaf collection earlier in the year following community feedback. Public Works Director Ken O’Brien admitted the delay in starting leaf collection until after Thanksgiving was a misjudgment and assured that the process would begin earlier in the future. The council’s conversation revolved around the varying needs of different neighborhoods for leaf collection and acknowledged that some areas might require more attention than others. In addition to this key decision, the council also debated the reorganization of the Dodge Field playground, focusing on its redevelopment to meet current accessibility needs and the potential funding through the Green Acres Jake Law Grant.
