STREET-SWEEPING PROGRAM -- Pittsburg, Antioch, Bay Point

Posted:  28 Oct 14


1.  Purpose

To help pass the word about the Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD)'s street-sweeping program and how we might cooperate to make the part of the world we see everyday an even more pleasing source of pride and comfort.

This is something easily overlooked -- or might be unknown to some of us.  

But is well worth attending to.

2.  Discussion

Basically, those interesting sweeping-machines come around a couple of times per month.  And what a difference they make, if they're allowed to do their jobs properly.  And, we are paying for it, after all.

We are requested to routinely mark the schedule on our calendars (see 3, below) -- or do whatever it takes to remember to keep our cars (and other obstacles) out of the way until sweeping has been accomplished --- and then, actually do so.


3.  The Specifics

Here is a link to the portion of the Pittsburg City website which deals with this topic.

Here's a helpful excerpt, for your convenience, though there's more of interest on the actual site:

Residential streets are swept twice monthly during weekdays, when residents are typically at work and on-street parking is at a minimum.

Commercial, industrial and business areas are swept weekly at night when heavy daytime traffic is not present, businesses are typically closed and on-street parking minimized.

Click on (1) Street Sweeping Map 09 to view a map of the City's street sweeping schedule -- AND -- (2) A list by street name can be viewed by clicking on Street Sweeping Schedule 2009. [YOU'LL NEED TO LOOK AT BOTH -- THEY WORK TOGETHER]

4.  Requested Action

Please note your scheduled days and do what you can to allow the City to make life better around your homes and/or places of business. TRY HARD TO NOT LEAVE THINGS IN THE WAY.

Please help pass this word among your neighbors, so they will have a chance to help in this way, too.

HELP EACH OTHER REMEMBER  -- for we all forget stuff in this busy life -- and can use all the help we can get.


Thanks, neighbors!
