STREET SWEEPING BEGINS APRIL 29TH

STREET SWEEPING BEGINS ON SALEM'S ENTRANCE CORRIDORS ON  APRIL 29TH
Residential Streets To Be Swept May 13-24

It's that time of year again...

        Mayor Kimberley Driscoll today announced that the City of Salem’s Street Sweeping Program will begin on Monday, April 29th on Salem's entrance corridors. Then, beginning on May 13th, sweepers will start cleaning residential streets in neighborhoods.

"After a winter of record breaking snow amounts, street sweepers are a welcome sight. We are committed to cleaning this city street by street starting on April 29th,” stated Mayor Driscoll.

The first Entrance Corridor sweep will begin on Monday, April 29th and continue through May 10th. Residents should consult the 'No Parking/Tow Zone' signs posted along each of these entrance corridors that notify drivers of what day parking restrictions are in effect. As in the past, entrance corridor sweeping schedules alternate between the odd and even sides of the street so residents are able to alternate parking their cars on the opposite side of the street during scheduled sweeping days. Parking is prohibited from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on scheduled sweep days.  This year the City will be sweeping Entrance Corridors three times throughout the spring, summer and fall (see schedule on salem.com for more details). 

Beginning Monday, May 13th and running through May 24th residential neighborhood street sweeping will take place on  both sides of the street on the same day. Each neighborhood route will be posted with temporary ‘No Parking/Tow Zone’ signs and parking will be prohibited between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. 

John Tomasz, Director of Public Services, stated, "In order for the sweepers to do their job, I would like to ask all residents to pay attention to the no parking signs posted for street sweeping and to remove your cars from the street on your designated sweeping day," John Tomasz, Director of Public Services, stated. "Our goal is to clean the streets, not to tow cars, so please park accordingly during scheduled street sweeping days."

City streets will be broken down into two zones. Streets in Zone One will be swept during the week of May 13 – 17 and streets in Zone Two will be swept during the week of May 20 – 24 (see schedule on salem.com for more details).  Residents will be able to use entrance corridor streets (Boston St., Bridge St., Essex St. [from Boston St. to Washington St.], Lafayette St. [from Dow St. to Marblehead line], Loring Ave., and North St.) as alternative parking areas on the day of their neighborhood sweep. Once a street is swept, residents will be able to move their vehicles back onto their street. 

Sweep days are the next day after the regularly scheduled trash day.  To find a specific street sweeping date, locate what zone the street is in on the 2013 Residential Street Sweeping Schedule, and match it with the calendar.  Monday sweep schedules are for the preceding Friday's trash day.  For example, if you live on Atlantic Street, which has a Friday trash pickup, are located in Zone One both sides of the street will be swept on Monday, May 13. For a detailed schedule, log onto the Department of Public Works page on the “Departments” site at www.salem.com, pick one up at City Hall or the Salem Public Library, or call the DPS office at 978-744-3302. 

To help get the word out, the City will use its CodeRed automated calling system. Also the street sweeping schedule will be posted on the News & Announcements page and Department of Public Works page on the City's website (www.salem.com).  Hard copies will be available at the DPW garage, Salem City Hall, and the Salem Public Library. To have a schedule sent by mail call the Public Services Department at 978-744-3302. Illuminated message boards will be placed throughout the city announcing street sweeping and temporary tow zone signs will be placed throughout designated sweeping areas.

        Certain weather conditions prohibit the use of the street sweepers: during moderate to heavy rainfall and extreme cold temperatures sweepers will not be able to operate. Weather cancellations will be posted on www.salem.com.

One of the many ways the City will notify residents regarding street sweeping is through the CodeRED automated calling system, so this is a perfect time to register. Residents and businesses can add their telephone numbers, cellular phone numbers, and/or email addresses to the new CodeRED system. To register, residents and businesses can log onto the city's website www.salem.com and click on the  CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment' icon.

 It only takes a minute and will ensure notification of emergency and non-emergency messages from the City of Salem. 

Another method of communication used for street sweeping information is the City's email updates. Individuals can sign-up to receive a variety of notices by clicking the green ‘E-Mail Subscriber’  button on the left side of www.salem.com  and checking the News & Announcements category.

Residents are urged to register for both the CodeRED and www.salem.com E-Mail Subscriber systems, as the City uses each system independently.
