Description

Street Sweeping - Ellsworth Avenue has scheduled street sweeping on the 4th Monday & Tuesday of each month. Yesterday, 9/23 /13, the southern side of Ellsworth Avenue was to have street sweeping. Today, 9/24/13, the northern side was to have street sweeping.
Street sweeping did not occurr on Monday on the southern side of Ellsworth Avenue. It did, however, occur on the northern side.

Why would the City pay employees to clean one side of the street & not the other? The garbage from the other side has already blown onto the side of the street that was just cleaned! This makes absolutely no sense. There were no signs posted on the southern side of Ellsworth Avenue indicating "No Parking on Monday - Street Sweeping " because Public Works failed to post them. This is asinine. Street sweeping signs failing to be posted in a timely manner, then cleaning half the street! What's the point? The street won't remain clean because the garbage from the other side that wasn't cleaned has blown over to the side that was cleaned.
