The Return of Street Cleaning 

It’s that time of year again! Birds are chirping. It’s staying light out later, and the street sweepers will be cleaning your neighborhood streets starting on April 1st.  Please note that parking restrictions related to street cleaning begin this week.  A schedule and information is available here!  Residents can also register for “No Tow,” a service that emails them when their street is scheduled for cleaning. So take notice, Eastie!  Watch the signs!
