POUDRE RIVER HEALTH
Don't sweep leaves, branches, grass clippings, trash, rocks and gravel into the street. This debris can damage the sweeping mechanisms on the trucks, clog stormwater drains and may send pollutants into the Poudre River. [City Code 26-498] 

TRIM YOUR VEGETATION
Trim trees to 8 feet above sidewalk and 14 feet above the street. Shrubbery cannot encroach on to any public sidewalk or block vision of drivers. [City Code 27-57]
