Creek Monitor & Camera The Creek Monitor and other systems are monitored by City of Palo Alto staff when conditions warrant and staffing permits.

Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers Prohibited in Residential Neighborhoods The City is reminding the public to go with an electric or battery-powered blower, or grab a rake or broom, for landscaping and garden clean ups in our residential areas. Gas-powered leaf blowers not only pollute our air but make a lot of noise that disturb our neighborhoods.
