STREET SWEEPER!!!?! Photo courtesy of DPW
TIME TO PANIC AND MOVE YOUR CAR: THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS STARTS STREET-SWEEPING TODAY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
In all seriousness, doesn’t it always seem like this date creeps up on all of us extra hard? You can find more information about the city’s street0sweeping service by visiting the Department of Public Works’ website: http://dpw.dc.gov/page/street-and-alley-cleaning. Failure to move your car will earn you a $45 ticket. (Bummer)
If you do get your car towed (hey, it can happen, especially if you have outstanding tickets or if your car is blocking traffic) DPW has a page with resources for you: http://dpw.dc.gov/service/towing
Street sweeping happens March 1-October 31. Don’t worry: When the street-sweeping stops, we can start complaining about Daylight Saving ending. There is always something to complain about.
