Street Sweeping Begins April 1st
Street Cleaning starts April 1st and runs through November 30th. During street cleaning days, vehicles cannot park on a specific side of the street in order to accommodate the street sweeper.
The majority of 1st Ward streets have permanent street cleaning signs. The permanent signs advise residents of the day of the week and the time restrictions for no parking on street cleaning days. The areas of the ward that do not have permanent signs will be notified of street cleaning by temporary signs. The temporary signs will be posted a day before the street will be cleaned.
