More Street Sweeping!

Entrance Corridor Street Sweeping Schedule
June 20 – July 1, 2011
August 15 – 26, 2011

Beginning on Monday, June 6, 2011 city-wide street sweeping will once again take place within our neighborhoods.

Street sweepers will be in your neighborhood from 8:00AM to 5:00PM.

During that time period a No Parking Tow Zone area will be in effect. Temporary orange tow zones will be posted throughout your neighborhood and all cars must be removed from both sides of the street so that sweeping can take place.

Please note, you will be able to park your vehicles on: Loring Avenue; Lafayette Street; Bridge Street; Boston Street; North Street; and Essex Street (the portion from Boston Street to Washington Street)~on your designated sweep day.

(Once you have seen that the sweeper has cleaned your street, you can move your vehicle back onto the roadway.)

The Maytag

The money box on the Maytag dryer nearest the back door of the laundry room.(See picture above). has become bent and is stuck. It is so full of quarters that it has become extremely difficult to remove. Although the dryer itself is working fine, please be advised that until the money box is repaired or replaced, your quarters may jam in the tray and not work. The repairman is coming tomorrow to look at it. Until then, please use the other dryers as much as possible.
