Thanks to Griffin for the reminder: “street sweeping tomorrow”
From DPW:
“Posted Residential Street Sweeping (Monday, March 3rd through October 31st)
The Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin posted residential street sweeping on Monday, March 3rd. The program will run through October 31st, and motorists are asked to obey posted signs indicating the schedule of parking restrictions to ensure streets are swept thoroughly.
The residential street sweeping program is an important tool used to keep the District clean. In previous years, DPW sweepers have collected more than 2,000 tons of litter and pollutants as they traveled more than 31,095 miles across the district. DPW also sweeps neighborhoods where parking is restricted during sweeping hours. DPW will sweep neighborhoods where there are no parking restrictions, as well as sections of arterial roadway when curbsides are available.
To remind motorists of the restrictions, DPW will issue warnings between March 3rd, and March 14th, to vehicles parked during the sweeping periods. On March 17th, violators will be subject to $45 fines and relocation, which carries a $100 fee. Generally, parking is prohibited for two hours (9:30 am to 11:30 am or 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm) while sweeping is underway. When parking is permitted on only one side of the street, vehicles can park on that side on one day and park on the other side on the following day
