Street Sweeping Parking Enforcement to Remain 'On Hold' for Now |
Before the Regional Stay at Home Order was announced by the State, the City planned to resume street sweeping parking enforcement on January 4, 2021. Due to the current circumstances, the street sweeping parking enforcement start date will be delayed to a date to be determined. In the meantime, staff will continue routine sweeping without enforcement while addressing stored, abandoned, or unregistered vehicles. Please continue to move your car for the sweeper so crews can clean your street and prevent debris flowing to the sea.
