LAHARPE — Keep those clippings off the street.

LaHarpe City Council members approved Wednesday a new ordinance that makes it illegal for residents to mow in a manner that spews grass clippings on to nearby roadways.

Council members cited long-term damage to the chip-seal road surface and safety hazards for those on bicycles or motorcycles.

That said, the city could and should exercise discretion in handing out tickets, City Attorney Fred Works warned.
