Spring has arrived and it is time for the Department of Public Works (DPW) to begin its annual street sweeping program. Beginning on Wednesday April 1st, 2009 DPW crews will work their way throughout all City neighborhoods and business districts systematically cleaning all of New Haven’s 235 lane miles of roads to remove the accumulations of salt, sand and litter that have built up over the winter months.
This year, to better inform residents, Public Works crews will “paper” post all routes with "No Parking" signs the day before sweeping is to occur, including those neighborhoods with permanent signs already posted. The paper postings will determine if the street is scheduled for sweeping and are intended to provide a more noticeable alert that all vehicles should be removed from the street sweeping route. Inclement weather may alter our street sweeping schedule; therefore residents are advised to pay particular attention to these paper postings and move your vehicles accordingly.
All vehicles that do not observe the posted no parking signs will be ticketed and/or towed which may result in significant expense and inconvenience.
If you are going to be out of town for an extended period of time, do not leave your car parked on the street, or if you do, make arrangements with a neighbor to move it when "No Parking" signs are posted.
Residents and businesses can be of great help by cleaning litter from front yards and curb lines. This will not only assist in the street sweeping efforts but also will help prevent litter from blowing into the streets after they have been swept.
Street sweeping routes remain the same as in previous years. You can click on the map provided on this page to find out the schedule for your street.
