Street sweeping provides two primary benefits: Keeping the streets clean of trash and debris and protecting water quality. Debris can block storm drains and cause localized flooding during heavy rains. Storm water enters our waterways untreated, so an equally important benefit is the removal of small metal particles and other hazardous waste products left by passing vehicles. These particles can be extremely harmful to fish and other wildlife if they reach our creeks, rivers, beaches and bays. Street sweeping is an effective method of removing both the large and microscopic pollutants that collect on City streets..

Motorized sweeping removes an average of 220,000 lbs. of debris from the street before it goes into the storm drains. For more information on how to protect our environment and enhance our communities, visit ThinkBlue.org

Using the Litter Index, the Department of Streets picked neighborhoods to take part in the Mechanical Street Cleaning program. These neighborhoods have the highest concentration of litter and need more City services to keep them clean.

Depending on the type of street closure you need, your application materials, permit fee, and permit duration will differ. Police assistance or an inspection may be required. If the work zone encroaches on a travel lane, police assistance is required.

Incomplete streets are the result of a process that fails to consider the needs of all people and outdated measures of what makes a street successful. The end product is a street that spans a spectrum from uncomfortable to downright deadly for those not using a car.

While Complete Streets are a process and approach to street design, there is no singular design prescription for Complete Streets. Each one is unique and responds to its community context. A complete street may include: sidewalks, bike lanes (or wide paved shoulders), special bus lanes, comfortable and accessible public transportation stops, frequent and safe crosswalks, median islands, accessible pedestrian signals, curb extensions, narrower travel lanes, roundabouts, and more.

But not all Complete Streets policies are created equally. The National Complete Streets Coalition also regularly tracks and scores state and local Complete Streets policies based on a clear but comprehensive framework that requires accountability from jurisdictions and prioritizes the needs of the most vulnerable users.

But a strong policy is just the first step in a much longer process to shape practices for street design. Changing those practices is a key step in making a Complete Streets approach the default approach. Those practices determine the projects that get built and how, which are the building blocks of creating a complete network to serve everyone and connect more people to destinations safely and efficiently. So what does that look like in practice?

New York City's Open Streets program transforms streets into public space open to all. These transformations allow for a range of activities that promote economic development, support schools, facilitate pedestrian and bike mobility, and provide new ways for New Yorkers to enjoy cultural programming and build community.

New partners must submit a full application. Please contact us online if you need assistance applying in another language.

The Daytime Street Cleaning Program runs from April 1 to November 30 in most Boston neighborhoods. Check the posted street sweeping signs on your street for the schedule and parking restrictions.

Twice a year, Public Works crews sweep more than 1,100 miles of streets from curb to curb. In the spring, crews sweep nearly 400 miles of alleys. We also do routine sweeping at other times, which does not impact parking. Street sweeping helps keep our neighborhoods clean and livable, and protects our waterways.

Leaves left on streets that eventually wash into storm drains can pollute our lakes and rivers. They may quickly begin to break down, creating pollutants that flow into lakes, streams and the Mississippi River. This overfertilizes lake water and lets harmful aquatic plants and algae grow. The murky lake water that results is not good for swimming or fishing. It can also harm wildlife.

A street space permit grants permission to temporarily occupy a portion of a public roadway or sidewalk for building construction and other construction related work. Material and equipment may not occupy more than 1/3 of the roadway width and not more than 1/2 of the sidewalk width unless an additional street space permit is granted per Article 15, Section 724 Public Works Code. The street space permit fee calculator may be used to estimate the permit fee for your project.

Once you have received an approved street space permit, you be allowed to place construction material and equipment ONLY along the boundaries in front of the property. You are not allowed to use the sidewalk or roadway in front of any other property. In addition, you can only utilize 1/2 or less the width of the sidewalk as well as only the designated parking lane. If there is no designated parking lane, you are allowed to use only 1/3 of the width of the sidewalk.

IMPORTANT: You cannot occupy any area outside of the designated street space permit limits unless you are granted an additional street space permit: Article 15, Section 724.7 Public Works Code. If you cannot meet the restrictions stated above, e.g., you do not have any parking available in front of the property, or, if the sidewalk is too narrow to allow for both construction materials and pedestrian accessible access, you will be required to obtain an additional street space permit. EXCEPTION: When you have obtained a Mobile Storage Container permit.

Alternatively, you may apply for both new or renewal Street Space requests online. You may apply online here. Following submission of your request, you will be sent an invoice via email with payment instructions. Tow away signs and placards will be sent by email after payment is received. There is no need to visit our offices at 49 South Van Ness Avenue when applying online

A fee is applicable - see fee schedule. Street space is charged at twenty-foot intervals. Additional fees and administrative action may be required if more space than the maximum allowed by the Public Works Code is requested. See our street space permit fee calculator to estimate the permit fee for your project.

If you have any questions related to Street Space permits, please reach out to our Street Space Division at streetspace@sfdpw.org

In order to utilize the parking lane for construction related purposes a street space permit must first be obtained. The permittee may then obtain permission to restrict parking using the following rules for posting temporary "Tow-Away, No Parking" signs upon verification at the job site. The City provides the notice placard only. The notice placard is to be mounted on private property in such a manner so as to be visible from the street frontage. The Inspector verifies the information and posting.

Staff shortages due to the financial crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting Citywide hiring freeze necessitate that we reduce the frequency of street sweeping: routes that had received weekly sweeping will now be swept biweekly, meaning on either the first and third weeks of the month or the second and fourth weeks of the month.

Sign up for notifications when your street will be swept! Notifications will be sent 24 and 48 hours before we sweep the location that you register for. Fill out the form on this page, or use the map to explore other streets where you commonly park and to register for multiple locations.

We encourage all residents to be mindful of street signage to avoid being ticketed. Vehicles will be cited if they are parked in restricted areas on days when street cleaning is scheduled. The Street Sweeping Near Me webpage and notification system will let you know when sweeping is planned for your street so you can plan accordingly. For more information about parking and parking enforcement, please visit the LA Department of Transportation's parking information pages.

Thank you for helping us better clean your neighborhood! By keeping routes free of parked cars, our sweepers can access the curb where debris collects, and this makes our streets safe, mobile and sustainable. be457b7860
