The Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced that daytime mechanical street sweeping will resume in scheduled, signed residential neighborhoods on Monday, March 22, 2010. Alternate-side parking restrictions in these areas will go into effect as well. Parking tickets, which carry a $30 fine, will be issued, beginning March 29, to vehicles parked during street sweeping hours in areas posted with “No Parking/Street Cleaning” signs.
Beginning March 29, vehicles parked in the restricted areas during sweeping hours also may be towed to allow the sweepers access to the curbside. Generally, parking is prohibited for two hours while sweeping is underway.
“The snow has melted and there’s now quite a bit of litter and debris in certain areas,” said DPW Director William O. Howland Jr. “Residents are again reminded to observe the street cleaning signs so our sweepers can resume cleaning residential streets.”
DPW street sweepers cover about 4,000 lane miles monthly, removing litter and pollutants. The sweeper also emits a fine spray of water to help control dust. Street sweeping is suspended during winter as the sprayed water can freeze and become ice on the street. DPW also sweeps commercial corridors year-round.
