Falls Church City officials have announced a new schedule for street sweeping: one week later than originally planned.
Officials last week said sweeping would be begin Monday, March 10, but on Sunday delayed it a full week. No reason was given.
Sweeping will now begin March 17, with residential areas south of Broad Street. Those neighborhoods will be completed March 18. Commercial areas and municipal parking areas are scheduled to be cleaned March 19, and residential areas north of Broad are set for March 20 and 21.
Street sweeping reduces the volume of pollutants entering local streams through the City’s 900 storm drain openings. Residents are asked to move vehicles off of residential streets scheduled for sweeping between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Parked vehicles impede the street sweeping equipment, resulting in less efficient and effective service. The schedule is subject to change for weather.
