Street sweeping plays a vital role in maintaining the beauty and health of Los Angeles. StreetsLA’s dedicated fleet of street sweepers, operated by full-time Motor Sweeper Operators, diligently works to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the city. These efforts are crucial for keeping our streets clean, preventing debris from entering our rivers and the ocean, and ensuring storm drains remain clear to prevent local flooding. With over 4,700 curb miles in Los Angeles marked with “No Parking” signs for street sweeping, it’s essential for residents to be aware of the schedule to help these services run effectively.
Due to staffing limitations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial impact and a subsequent citywide hiring freeze, adjustments to street sweeping frequency have become necessary. Areas previously swept weekly are now serviced biweekly, following a schedule of either the first and third weeks or the second and fourth weeks of each month. This change underscores the importance of staying informed about your specific street sweeping schedule to avoid parking violations and ensure your neighborhood benefits from this essential service.
Keeping residents informed is a priority. StreetsLA offers a convenient notification system to remind you when street sweeping is scheduled for your street. By signing up for notifications, you’ll receive alerts 24 and 48 hours in advance of scheduled sweeping. This proactive approach allows you to plan accordingly, ensuring vehicles are moved and streets are accessible for cleaning. You can easily register for notifications by filling out the form on the StreetsLA website or utilizing the interactive map to register multiple locations, particularly useful if you park in different areas regularly.
Adhering to posted parking restrictions on street sweeping days is crucial to avoid citations. The Street Sweeping Near Me webpage and the notification system are valuable tools for staying informed about planned sweeping activities, allowing you to manage your parking and contribute to cleaner streets. For comprehensive information regarding parking regulations and enforcement in Los Angeles, please refer to the LA Department of Transportation’s parking information pages.
Your cooperation in keeping streets clear of parked vehicles on scheduled sweeping days is greatly appreciated. Accessible curbs allow street sweepers to effectively remove debris, leading to safer, more mobile, and sustainable streets for everyone in Los Angeles. Register for notifications today and become a partner in maintaining a cleaner Los Angeles.
