Fall Street Sweeping

Street Maintenance’s Fall sweeping and leaf removal program began the last week in October and will continue through approximately the third week in November. To ensure that the streets get thoroughly cleaned and your car doesn’t get towed, please note the following:

• “No Parking” signs will be posted the morning of the day prior to actual sweeping. Signs will be removed following the completion of sweeping.
  
• Business and commercial areas will be given priority sweeping each day so as to restore critically needed parking as soon as possible.
  
• Enforcement and towing will begin at 8:00 a.m. the day of the sweeping.
  
• City Ordinance prohibits the raking of leaves into the street. Leaves entering the city’s sewer system can negatively impact water quality in our rivers and lakes.
