Spring is Here! Street Sweeping Starts April 1st

The beginning of spring heralds the resumption of street sweeping season, which takes place between April 1 and November 30 every year. Starting Monday, City Department of Revenue agents will be vigorously enforcing parking restrictions on residential streets that are scheduled to be cleaned.

Although the Wards have been remapped, the Dept. of Streets and Sanitation has not transitioned to the new ward boundaries. Therefore, for the entire 2013 street sweeping season, street sweeping will be working off the same map and same street sweeping schedule as last year.

If you signed up for texting service last year, you will continue to receive these text alerts the evening before and the morning of your street being swept. If you have not signed up yet, and your residential block has permanent street sweeping signs installed, you can sign up for this free service here.
