Sanibel City Council reviewed gas-powered leaf blower regulations in 2019 and enacted commercial use restrictions in December of the year. Reconsideration is not on the council’s agenda, but it was a topic in the recent council election campaigns and residents would like council to readdress the issue based on the results of a recent SantivaChronicle.com survey. Three-fourths of the responding readers said they are not happy with the current restrictions and more than two-thirds think the current restrictions are not enough and something more should be done.
| Outlaw gas-powered leaf blowers | 49.6% |
