Expanded Street Sweeping Enforcement Begins March 21
March 11, 2011
On March 1, 2011, the Department of Public Works (DPW) began the first day of the new, expanded street sweeping program to encompass more residential neighborhoods. Last year DPW conducted a study of the sweeping program and found that rerouting the sweepers would increase efficiency and increase the number of streets for regular street sweeping.
DPW has also implemented the new expanded street sweeping program to start date every year beginning March 1 (unless a snow storm occurs) through October 31. News signs have been posted with this information to ensure that everyone knows when parking restrictions will be in effect.
In neighborhoods that participate in the weekly street sweeping program" signs have been posted to advise motorists of parking restrictions during the weekly sweeping hours, parking enforcement will begin Monday, March 21, 2011. This will allow residents and others to become accustomed to moving their cars again, especially since street sweeping days and/or times changed for some neighborhoods.
In residential neighborhoods where there are no signs identifying parking restrictions, sweeping will occur twice a month.
