Preparations Begin to Expand Street Sweeping
City workers have begun installing igns, and notices will be mailed to residents about an impending expansion of the street-sweeping program in May.
The City Council last September approved the increase, which included the purchase of 12 street sweepers, eight parking control vehicles, a dump loader truck and a pickup at a cost of about $900,000. Eight parking control police officers have also been hired. The increased cost of the program, not including the new equipment, is about $1.13 million.
Under the new program, residential, commercial and industrial streets will be cleaned weekly, major arterials twice a week and streets in the downtown area will be scoured nightly.
People who park their cars on streets during posted hours after a two-week grace period will be fined $27.
