Street cleaning is a vital service provided by StreetsLA to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. One of the most common sights in Los Angeles is the fleet of street sweepers, operated by dedicated Motor Sweeper Operators. These sweepers play a crucial role in keeping our city clean and healthy.
To effectively clean our streets, especially along the curb where debris accumulates, “No Parking” signs are posted across over 4,700 curb miles in Los Angeles. This allows the sweepers to access the curb line, removing trash and preventing pollutants from entering our rivers and the ocean. Street sweeping also helps to prevent local flooding by ensuring storm drains remain clear of blockages.
Recently, like many city services, street sweeping schedules have been adjusted due to staff shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial impact and a city-wide hiring freeze. Previously weekly routes are now being serviced biweekly. This means your street will be swept either during the first and third weeks of the month, or the second and fourth weeks.
To help residents stay informed and avoid parking tickets, StreetsLA offers a notification system. By signing up, you will receive alerts 24 and 48 hours before street sweeping is scheduled to occur on your registered street. You can register for notifications by filling out the form available on the StreetsLA website. For those who park in multiple locations, the interactive map provides a way to explore different streets and register for notifications for each. This proactive approach ensures you are always aware of the street sweeping schedule in your area.
Remember to always check posted street signs for parking restrictions. Vehicles parked in restricted zones on sweeping days will be ticketed. Utilizing the Street Sweeping Near Me notification system is the best way to stay ahead of the schedule and plan your parking accordingly. For detailed information regarding parking regulations and enforcement, please refer to the LA Department of Transportation’s parking information pages.
Your cooperation in keeping streets clear of parked vehicles on sweeping days is greatly appreciated. By doing so, you help StreetsLA to efficiently clean the curb areas where debris collects, contributing to safer, more mobile, and sustainable streets for everyone in our neighborhood.
