City Of Salem Fall 2020 Street Sweeping Schedule Announced

Press release from City of Salem:

Aug. 25, 2020

Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll today announced that fall street sweeping will take place on residential neighborhoods on Monday August 31 through Friday, September 25 and will continue on Salem’s entrance corridors beginning on Tuesday, September 29 and running through Thursday, October 8.

Residential neighborhood sweeping will continue to take place on both sides of the street on the same day. Sweeping will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Each neighborhood route will be posted with temporary ‘No Parking/Tow Zone’ signs and parking will be prohibited between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Neighborhood streets are broken down into four zones. Sweep days are the next day after the regularly scheduled trash day. To find a specific street sweeping date, locate what zone your street is in on the 2020 Fall Street Sweeping Schedule and match it with the calendar. Monday sweep schedules are for the preceding Friday's trash day. Street sweeping schedules can be found at www.salem.com/streetsweeping, at the Department of Public Services at 5 Jefferson Avenue and City Hall. There is also a searchable map online at www.salem.com/streetsweeping. Please note there will be sweeping on Monday, September 7.

Residents will be able to use entrance corridor streets as alternative parking areas on the day of their neighborhood sweep. Entrance corridor streets are Boston St., Bridge St., Essex St. (from Boston St. to North/Summer St.), Lafayette St. (from Derby St. to Marblehead line), Loring Ave., and North St. Once a neighborhood street is swept, residents can move their vehicles back onto their street. For a complete list of parking alternatives go to www.salem.com/streetsweeping. Please remember if you choose to move your vehicle to an entrance corridor street that you must adhere to all current parking restrictions and metered rates on these entrance corridors, including “resident only” parking restrictions that require a valid resident parking sticker for that zone.

Entrance corridor sweeping will take place Tuesday, September 29 through Thursday, October 8. Each entrance corridor will be swept over a period of two consecutive days, which will alternate between the odd and even side of the streets. Each corridor will be posted with temporary ‘No Parking/Tow Zone’ signs and parking will be prohibited between the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. You can find the 2020 entrance corridor sweeping schedule at www.salem.com/streetsweeping.

Certain weather conditions prohibit the use of the street sweepers: during moderate to heavy rainfall and extreme cold temperatures sweepers will not be able to operate. Weather cancellations will be posted on www.salem.com.
