Street Sweeper


The street sweeper will be coming thru our neighborhood starting at 7:30 am on Monday April 15th.
Please arrange to have your vehicles OFF
the street to give the sweeper the best
possible access. 
We encourage you to begin/continue your
spring cleaning by sweeping your
driveways and sidewalks right out into
the road.
