It’s been officially spring, and that means it’s time for the city’s annual spring cleaning! The Street Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department began street sweeping operations on Monday, April 8, and will continue through mid-October, weather permitting. Village Green is in Section E from the map. Section E’s scheduled dates are: May 19-23; Jul 28-31; and Oct 13-17. Village Green already has a sign up at our entrance for the streets to be swept Friday, May 23.

Street sweeping plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of our local waterways by removing accumulated debris and pollutants, such as sand, salt, metals, petroleum products, and bacteria, before they enter the storm drains. This season, the city is deploying ten mechanical street sweepers at regularly scheduled times to clear debris from city-maintained roads. In 2023 alone, 20,085 miles of curbs were swept and 6,558 dump truck loads of debris were removed from city streets.

Please be mindful of the bright signs posted on major streets leading into neighborhoods, indicating temporary parking restrictions for street sweeping.

On street sweeping days, ensure that vehicles, basketball goals, and other bulk items are off the streets by 9 a.m.; parking may resume after 3 p.m.
