Please take note of the signs posted on the street where you park to help the Public Works Department clean the street efficiently and avoid a parking ticket.
If a scheduled street cleaning day falls on a holiday, unless otherwise specified that street will not be cleaned until the following regular cleaning day.Â
Make sure to remove your vehicle at the appropriate time when streets are posted to avoid a parking ticket.Â
