Update:  Globe article on street cleaning

As a heads up, Street cleaning will start [Friday, 3/20] and continue next week on its regular schedule (meaning if a street normally gets swept on Wednesday it will be swept this Wednesday). Compliance will be voluntary, but residents are strongly encouraged to move their cars so the sweepers can get to the curbs. For the most part, there will be no additional signage for next week's sweeping, but residents are asked to use the existing sweeping schedule (noted on the existing street cleaning signage). Please, also be on the look out for temporary no parking signs, as some streets have already been swept using the temporary signage. Enforcement and towing for non-compliance will begin April 1.
