The Public Works Department would like to announce the start of it's Spring roadside sweeping program. Beginning on March22nd street sweepers will begin sweeping roads throughout the city.
Public Works is asking for your assistance and patience as this program continues through the months of April and May. We ask that residents do not park vehicles along the road during this process because street sweepers will not return once they have left an area. We will try and get to your street as fast as possible and we ask that residents be patient as we get to your area.
Even though sweepers use water during the sweeping process some dust will be generated. You will also notice that after the first pass there may be some debris still left behind. The street sweeper will make a number of passes until the street is completely swept.
You can assist Public Works by sweeping any winter sand from your driveway or sidewalk into the gutter area. Please do not consider this an invitation to clean your entire yard. The street sweeper cannot and will not pick up stones, branches, leaves or other foreign matter.
PLEASE DO NOT SWEEP DRIVEWAYS/ SIDEWALKS ONTO THE ROAD ONCE YOUR ROAD IS SWEPT.
If you have any questions please email or call the Department of Public Works at 508-624-6910 during business hours. The Public Works Department is open Monday through Friday, 7AM through 3:30PM. |
